There are few restaurants and shops around the venue, so it's recommended to stock up on food at Michi-no-Eki Hiyoshi Yume Sanchi or similar. Insects are abundant in the countryside at dusk, so bring bug spray. Secure your viewing spot before dark.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour 45 minutes. The countryside sunset before and after dusk is the highlight.
