Seasons and closures
Lake Haruna is popular with campers in summer, and in winter its surface freezes for skating and ice fishing. Mount Myōgi draws visitors in the autumn colour season, and the Tanigawadake Ropeway runs in every season. Nukisaki Shrine holds its main festival on 15 March. Ozegahara Marsh's page notes that the marsh's open season has not been checked.
