💡 Tips for Visitors

Most ryokan and public baths are cash-only, so bring sufficient yen. The area has limited English signage, but many accommodations offer basic English support—booking through your hotel concierge is recommended. Visit during spring for cherry blossoms or autumn for colorful foliage, and don't miss trying the free foot bath along the riverside promenade.
