  • Getting there: From JR Fukuroda Station on the Suigun Line, about 7–10 minutes by bus or taxi, or 40 minutes on foot. Buses are infrequent.
  • Hours: Viewing tunnel 8:00–18:00 May–October, 8:00–17:00 November, 9:00–17:00 December–April.
  • Admission: Tunnel ¥500 adults, ¥300 children (raised July 2025).
  • Tip: In very cold winters the falls can partly freeze. Autumn colour peaks in November and draws big crowds.
