The best time to go to Bungotakada is during the spring (late March to early May) and autumn (late September to early November) months.


Spring offers mild temperatures and clear skies, which are ideal for exploring the city's historic sites and natural landscapes. This is when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, particularly beautiful around the Fukiji Temple and along the riverbanks, creating picturesque scenery for leisurely walks and photography. It's a lovely time for couples to enjoy the romantic atmosphere.


Autumn also provides pleasant weather with comfortable temperatures and less humidity than the summer. The changing colours of the leaves, especially around the Kunisaki Peninsula's temples and valleys, are stunning. This season is great for those who enjoy hiking and exploring the outdoors without the summer heat or winter chill.
