💡 Tips for Visitors

Purchase tickets at the base station; credit cards are accepted but having cash is recommended for food and souvenirs at mountain stations. Visit early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds, especially during autumn foliage season (late September to October). The temperature at the summit is significantly colder than the base, so bring warm layers even in summer. English signage and pamphlets are available, though staff English proficiency may be limited.
