Tips

The Maya View Line's nighttime operating hours vary by season, so be sure to check the last departure time on the official website before heading out. It's about a 9-10 minute walk from the Tenjoji-mae parking lot (500 yen per use), but using public transportation is recommended. It gets cold at the summit at night, so bring warm clothing.
