The Yamanakako Tourism Association changed the main village information center’s schedule in 2026. It now opens earlier, closes slightly earlier, and normally takes Wednesday as its weekly closing day; the separate Hirano information office remains open on that schedule change.
Key Facts For Travelers
When To Use The Main Center
The earlier 8:30 AM opening can help visitors checking local transport, weather-sensitive activities, or same-day lake plans before attractions open. Do not arrive after 5:15 PM expecting counter service.
The main center’s current official address is 506-296 Hirano, Yamanakako Village. Call ahead when a holiday, severe weather, or special event could affect normal counter service.
Wednesday And Hirano Planning
The association’s schedule notice says the main village center closes every Wednesday, while the Hirano tourist information office remains open. The site’s current footer adds that the main center opens when Wednesday falls on a public holiday.
Hirano’s office follows different hours of 9:30 AM-5:30 PM. Confirm which counter is convenient for your route rather than assuming both offices use the same opening time.
Traveler Actions
- Visit the main center between 8:30 AM and 5:15 PM.
- On a normal Wednesday, plan to use Hirano’s office or online information instead.
- Check the public-holiday calendar before assuming a Wednesday closure.
- Call 0555-62-3100 when weather or an event may affect service.
- Confirm which information office is closest to your lake route.
