💡 Tips for Visitors

English signage and support are limited, so consider booking through an English-speaking tour operator or accommodation. The resort area is vast and spread out, so purchasing a multi-area lift pass and using the free shuttle buses between zones is essential. Many smaller shops and restaurants are cash-only, so bring sufficient yen, though larger facilities accept credit cards.
