💡 Tips for Visitors

Most ryokan (traditional inns) accept cash only, so withdraw yen in advance from Chitose city before arriving. Visit during autumn (October) for vibrant fall colors or winter (January-February) for the Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival. English support is limited, so consider booking accommodations through hotels with English websites or bring a translation app for smooth communication.
