💡 Tips for Visitors

Renting a car is highly recommended as public transportation is limited on the peninsula. Many temples and rural areas are cash-only, so bring sufficient yen. The best times to visit are spring (April-May) for fresh greenery and autumn (October-November) for fall colors, while avoiding the humid summer months.
