Although the view is wonderful, the number of visitors who wish to see it now (2024) far exceeds the capacity of the parking lot, leading to risks both for visitors and the local environment. As a result, private vehicle access is strictly limited, and the vast majority of visitors must use a shuttle bus to get there. (
