Seems like a really nice place to visit, but according to http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e6040.html it would be closed when we are planning on visiting (early December).
What is the nature of the closure? Simple closing of the buildings there (visitors center, food/accomodation), or would transport there also be stopped (no busses, road closed, etc). If public transport is still available, we might be thinking about going there just for a day.
Thoughts/advice?
Thanks.

The 7km road leading there gets closed. It is a typical winter closure. I assume too much snow and not enough demand to justify the effort to keep it open.

I think you can theoretically hike there, but you would obviously need proper equipment for walking through the snow and a knowledge of the area.
