1. Driving up the mountain requires passing through toll gates. At the first gate, you'll receive a ticket and be asked about your physical condition. At the second gate, you pay the fee, and then you can proceed up the mountain. 2. Pay attention to the hazard warning lights to check if the volcano is visible. 3. We noticed that areas with "No Entry" signs often have great views. You can avoid the signs and take photos of the volcano. 4. On the day we visited, it was sunny and warm with some wind, but it's still important to adjust your clothing according to the temperature. 5. Some trails have stairs, while others are sloped. Elderly visitors can opt for the slopes, which also offer beautiful scenery.
