When is the best time to go to Sandankyo Onsen?

The best time to visit Sandankyo Onsen is during autumn, particularly from late October to mid-November, or in early summer, from late May to early June. Autumn is by far the most popular time to visit. The Sandankyo Gorge is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage, with the mountainsides ablaze in reds, oranges, and yellows. The cooler, crisp air makes for incredibly pleasant hiking conditions along the gorge's trails, leading to waterfalls like the Sandan-daki and the colourful waters of Sarutobi. This period is ideal for couples or anyone looking for breathtaking natural beauty and photography opportunities. Early summer also offers a wonderful experience. The fresh greenery after the spring rains is vibrant, and the temperatures are comfortably warm without being too hot. The river levels are typically good, enhancing the beauty of the waterfalls and the gorge's streams.

"Looking for a place for 3 people and listing said 1 bedroom and sleeps up to 4. Very small room. I wouldn’t even call it a studio. 1 bed and too small for 2 people. Husband had to sleep in other hotel. Mentioned it had 1 bedroom and other bed in the kitchen area and futon. No futon or bedroom. No elevator and on 5th floor. Very narrow stairwell and very dirty. Also small balcony but dirty and dingy. Don’t use. Window was left open when we arrived but didn’t know till next day and got...

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima

8/10 Good

"Old school type of place, with its own kind of charm. Big and busy. Great view from high floors."

Hiroshimanoyado Aioi

10/10 Excellent

"This is an authentic Japanese Ryokan, where you sleep on mats on the floor. We used three mats each to be comfortable. The room was spacious. The bathroom is immaculate and we loved using the onsen or hot bath. The Japanese breakfast was absolutely delicious and included a great variety of foods. The staff was gracious and very helpful. We could store our luggage and they got us a taxi when we left. I highly recommend this place for an authentic Japanese inn experience. It is literally across the street from the peace park and a mile or two from the train station. It is a perfect location."

GRAND BASE Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park

8/10 Good

"On walking to the accommodation we were a little concerned as it seemed a bit like suburbia (as it turned out not necessarily a terrible thing but depends what you're looking for) but on arrival found the hotel a bit surprising. Very neat and tidy with only 2 levels and 10 (or 12) rooms. I'm not sure if the rooms are all the same but ours was big with 2 double beds, a living area, kitchenette and bathroom with washing machine. It was only a few hundred metres to the Peace park and transport options were within 300 metres. Would recommend."
