💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit in mid to late November for peak autumn colors, or early December for the special illumination event. The area is best accessed by car as public transportation options are limited; consider renting a car or joining a tour from Tokyo. Most facilities accept cash only, so bring sufficient yen, and note that English signage is minimal.
