π‘ Tips for Visitors
The attraction accepts cash and credit cards, but it's advisable to carry yen for any small purchases. Best visited in the morning when crocodiles are most active during feeding times (around 10 AM on Wednesdays and Sundays). English signage is available throughout the facility, and it's easily accessible as part of the Beppu Jigoku Meguri (Hell Tour) combination ticket which offers better value if visiting multiple hot springs.
