Information checked: August 20, 2026, 8:30 AM JST.

Narusawa Village’s official tourism page lists a seasonal closing-time change at Roadside Station Narusawa. Thursday, August 20 is the final day when the produce hall stays open until 7:00 PM; from Friday, August 21 through Monday, August 31, it closes at 6:00 PM.

Short answerThe produce hall is listed as 8:00 AM-7:00 PM on August 20 and 8:00 AM-6:00 PM from August 21 to 31. The information counter keeps separate 8:30 AM-5:00 PM hours, while the parking area and toilets remain usable around the clock.

Different Facilities Keep Different Hours

Do not treat the roadside station as one building with one closing time. The village page lists the information counter at 8:30 AM-5:00 PM, the produce hall on its seasonal schedule, and the snack bar on a separate regular schedule of 9:30 AM-5:30 PM.

The adjacent Narusawa Mt. Fuji Museum is listed as open 9:00 AM-6:00 PM year-round. Its exhibits, shop, and other services are separate from the produce hall, so check the specific facility needed rather than relying only on the roadside-station parking being open.

What the August 21 Change Means

Travelers arriving after a day around Lake Saiko, the lava caves, or Mt. Fuji should move local-produce shopping earlier from August 21. An arrival planned between 6:00 PM and 7:00 PM may still reach the parking and toilets but miss the produce hall.

The official page lists no weekly closing day for the roadside station, but individual counters can finish earlier than the site itself. Allow time before the stated closing hour if buying fresh vegetables or food for the evening.

Traveler Actions

  • Use 7:00 PM only for Thursday, August 20; plan on a 6:00 PM produce-hall close from August 21.
  • Arrive before 5:00 PM if information-counter help is important.
  • Check the snack bar or museum separately because their hours are not the same as the produce hall.
  • Use the 24-hour parking and toilets without assuming that shops are still open.
  • Keep fresh produce cool if it will remain in a vehicle during a late-summer trip.
