“Maunakea Mountain” is one of the most visited places on the Big Island of Hawaii.
If possible, I would like to drive myself.
I also went to the summit of Maunakea, but it did not mean that we were able to reach the summit smoothly from the first try.
I tried to summarize the things that I learned for the first time and the things that would be useful if I knew in advance.
I’m glad if you can use it as a reference.
Onizuka Visitor Center Weather, Road Conditions, Road Status
Even if we go to the Onizuka Visitor Center, there are times when the road is closed and we are not allowed to reach the summit of Maunakea.
Before going to the visitor center, check the information on the official website.
You can find the information here. ⬇
The road from the visitor center to the summit of Mauna Kea is closed. Even so, it is possible to go to the visitor center.
Even if Road Stataus is closed, you can go to the visitor center.
You can also check the temperature and weather from this site.

Requirements for cars going to Summit
Even if Road Stataus is open, not all cars can pass through the gate to Mauna Kea.
There is a gate in front of the visitor center parking lot, and each car is judged.

(I don’t think this information is posted on the official website. I didn’t know until I got there. Many people don’t know, so I’ll be back here.
If you pass through the gate here, you will reach the summit in about 30 minutes.
