💡 Tips for Visitors

Access requires a car as public transportation is limited; consider renting a vehicle from central Saitama or Tokyo. The facility accepts cash only for parking and campsite fees, so prepare yen in advance. Visit during autumn (October-November) for spectacular fall colors, or spring (April-May) for fresh greenery, while avoiding summer weekends when local families crowd the camping areas.
