💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit between late April and mid-May for peak azalea blooming season, though exact timing varies by location and weather. Many azalea sites are in mountainous areas with limited public transportation, so renting a car or joining a tour is recommended. Bring cash as smaller attractions may not accept credit cards, and arrive early morning on weekdays to avoid crowds during the popular bloom period.
