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.

RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima

10/10 Excellent

"Nicest hotel I’ve been too"

Hiroshimanoyado Aioi

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is incredibly close to one of the most iconic structures of World War II, directly across from the “atomic dome“ which is one of the few buildings left from the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. The hypocenter, where the weapon exploded, is just behind the hotel, which tells you the amazing recovery. The people of Hiroshima have made. The breakfast is uniquely Japanese and everything about this hotel is structured around old Japanese style and traditions, which is well worth the time and visit!"

HOTEL CLA-SS HIROSHIMA - Dobashi

10/10 Excellent

"We had a little issue with checking in but after about 20 minutes we were able to get in. There was no receptionist so it was a bit confusing. Make sure you fill out passport information prior to arrival so they can send you code to get in. Short walk to all the sightseeing and museums… 711/ family mart is very close to grab coffee and snacks. Laundry service is nearby but i could not find the address to type in into gps so i had to follow instructions provided in the booklet … it would’ve been helpful to have the address of this place written too. Great location! Check out nearby sports bar BLKS they are very friendly there!! I felt so welcomed."
