GW・お盆の混雑|訪問時の駐車状況
GWは8:00頃に到着
GWに訪れた日は、朝8:00頃に到着し、駐車場へスムーズに入れました。
写真撮影や周辺散策を含めて約1時間30分滞在し、9:30頃に退出した時点では、20台以上が駐車待ちをしていました。
GWの混み方は訪問日によって変わりますが、この日は1時間30分の間に駐車状況が大きく変わりました。
お盆は8:30頃でも駐車できた
お盆は朝8:30頃に到着しました。駐車場はかなり埋まっていましたが、訪問時は問題なく駐車できました。
GW・お盆とも、道路状況や規制を確認し、時間に余裕を持って向かうと安心です。
GWとお盆の比較
| 比較項目 | GW訪問時 | お盆訪問時 |
|---|---|---|
| 到着時刻 | 8:00頃 | 8:30頃 |
| 到着時の駐車 | スムーズに駐車できた | かなり埋まっていたが駐車できた |
| 訪問時の混雑 | 9:30頃の退出時に20台以上が駐車待ち | 到着時は駐車できた |
| 残雪 | 道路には雪がなく、御釜周辺に残雪あり | 雪はなし |
| 景色の印象 | 残雪と火口湖の組み合わせ | 火口湖と周囲の緑が見える景色 |
GWとお盆の景色を写真で比較


どちらにも違った魅力がありましたが、私は雪のないお盆の景色の方が好みでした。これは個人的な感想で、残雪と火口湖の組み合わせを見たい場合はGWにも別の魅力があります。
御釜の所要時間は約1時間〜1時間30分|実際は約1時間30分滞在
写真撮影と周辺散策を含め、実際の滞在時間は約1時間30分でした。
御釜を見ることを中心に短く回ることもできますが、初めて訪れて景色や撮影をゆっくり楽しむなら、1時間〜1時間30分ほど確保しておくと計画しやすいです。
ここで紹介する所要時間は現地での見学時間です。混雑時の駐車待ちや御釜までの移動時間は含まないため、別に余裕を見てください。
御釜の服装と靴|スニーカーでも観光できたが歩きやすい靴がおすすめ
同行者はスニーカーで観光できた
同行者はスニーカーで問題なく観光できました。
ただし、足元には砂利や岩が多く、私はトレッキングシューズの方が歩きやすいと感じました。履き慣れた、歩きやすい靴を選ぶのがおすすめです。
天気を確認し、風に対応できる服装を
訪問時は風が強いと感じる場面がありました。公式案内では、御釜周辺は標高約1,600mで、山麓より約10℃低くなることがあるため、十分な防寒具を準備するよう案内されています。
出発前に山頂付近の天気と通行情報を確認し、気温や風に合わせて脱ぎ着できる上着を用意すると安心です。実際に着ていた服装の記録はないため、具体的な着用例は加えていません。
御釜観光のよくある質問
御釜観光の所要時間は?
写真撮影と周辺散策を含めた滞在時間は約1時間30分でした。景色をゆっくり楽しむなら、1時間〜1時間30分ほど見ておくと計画しやすいです。
ゴールデンウィークの御釜は混雑する?
GWに訪れた日は、8:00頃ならスムーズに駐車できましたが、9:30頃には20台以上が駐車待ちしていました。朝の短い時間で、駐車場の混み方が大きく変わっていました。
御釜はスニーカーでも観光できる?
同行者はスニーカーで問題なく観光できました。ただし、砂利や岩が多いため、トレッキングシューズなどの歩きやすい靴の方が移動しやすいと感じました。
GWとお盆ではどちらがおすすめ?
残雪と火口湖の景色を見たいならGW、雪のない景色を見たいならお盆という違いがあります。私は雪のないお盆の景色の方が好みでしたが、天候や残雪の状態でも印象は変わります。
