💡 Tips for Visitors

Purchase tickets at the entrance (cash and cards accepted). The tunnel maintains a cool temperature year-round, so bring a light jacket even in summer. Visit during autumn foliage season (late October to early November) or after rainfall when the gorge waters are most vibrant. The tunnel is well-lit and easy to navigate, with some English signage available at major viewing points.
