💡 Tips for Visitors

The best time to visit is spring (March-May) for cherry blossoms and clear Mount Fuji views, or autumn (October-November) for pleasant weather and fall colors. English signage is available at major tourist spots, though less common in rural areas; consider downloading a translation app. Most tea plantations and smaller restaurants are cash-only, so carry yen, though major hotels and shops accept credit cards.
