Calculate the booking window from closing time
Normal tourism-listed hours are 07:30–19:00 in March–July and September–November, until 20:00 in August and 18:00 in December–February. On a normal October day, the final 90 minutes begins at 17:30. Check special-day notices. Closures include 30–31 December and days in mid-February.
Check fees and proof for each person
Individual admission is 200 yen for adults including university students, 100 yen for high-school students and free for junior-high pupils and younger. Visitors aged 65 or over pay 100 yen with official age proof. Ask the museum about overseas school categories or unclear documents before purchasing.
Prepare language support and mobility assistance
Korean and English brochures are offered but may run out. Audio-guide equipment costs 500 yen per unit. Ask staff about elevators or the south priority entrance if stairs are difficult. Leave time to rest and move through the park afterwards.
