You can reach Yokoyama Observatory in about １５ on foot. There are several parking lots. The road from here to Yokoyama Observatory is thin and proceeds while giving up with oncoming vehicles.

It is a facility for tourist information and breaks, but as the name "Visitor Center" shows, it is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Environment.
