Frequently asked questions

The main attraction is the vast plateau stretching across altitudes of 1,350m to 1,600m. In early summer, the landscape is filled with blooming yellow Nikko Kisuge (daylilies). On clear days, visitors can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views that include Mount Fuji, the Tokyo Skytree, and even the Pacific Ocean.

There is no admission fee for entering the park.

From April to November, the park is open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. From December to March, the hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Please note that the facility is closed during the New Year holidays (December 29th to January 3rd).

English support on signage and information boards is limited. For a smoother experience, we recommend using translation apps that can be used offline.

The most highly recommended period is from May to July when the Nikko Kisuge flowers are in full bloom. For those wishing to capture clear photos of Mount Fuji or the Tokyo Skytree in the distance, visiting during the morning when the air is clearest is ideal.

Because this is a high-altitude area, it can feel chilly even in summer when the wind blows. Please prepare a light jacket or extra layers to adapt to temperature changes, and wear comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes for your walk.

Pets are allowed, but they must be kept on a leash at all times. Using a long lead or allowing your pet to run off-leash is strictly prohibited.

Wheelchair-accessible parking is available. It is possible to stroll through the well-maintained and developed areas of the park.

Photography for enjoying the scenery is free and encouraged. However, please be mindful not to damage the alpine plants or the natural environment while taking photos.

The Nikko area is home to many famous sites, including World Heritage shrines and temples, Lake Chuzenji, and Kegon Falls. We recommend a travel route that allows you to enjoy both natural beauty and historical landmarks.
