💡 Tips for Visitors

Many establishments are cash-only, so bring yen before arriving as ATMs are limited. Visit Jigokudani early morning or late afternoon to avoid crowds and experience the most atmospheric steam conditions. Most major hotels have English-speaking staff, but smaller guesthouses may have limited English support, so having translation apps ready is recommended.
