💡 Tips for Visitors

Entry fee is 500 yen (some sources indicate it may be free, so confirm upon arrival). Bring cash as card payment may not be accepted. Visit during spring for the best photographic opportunities with seasonal scenery. The house is smaller than expected, so allow 30-45 minutes for your visit.
