The best time to visit Gyoda is during spring, particularly from late March to early April, to experience the cherry blossoms, or in mid-November for the autumn foliage.Spring is when Gyoda truly comes alive, especially with the blooming of cherry blossoms. The ancient Marugata Kofun Park, home to the Sakitama Kofun group, becomes a stunning sight with hundreds of cherry trees. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll among the historic burial mounds under a canopy of pink and white. This period is ideal for couples seeking romantic scenery or anyone who appreciates natural beauty and photography.Alternatively, mid-November offers a different, yet equally beautiful, natural spectacle with the autumn leaves. The same Marugata Kofun Park transforms again, this time with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows.
