The best areas to stay in Kusu are the Bungo-Mori area for convenience and access to local attractions, or the Kuwakino area for a more secluded, nature-focused experience.


The Bungo-Mori area, particularly around Bungo-Mori Station, is the most practical choice for most visitors. It's the main transport hub, making it easy to arrive and explore the wider region. You'll find a selection of local eateries and shops here, and it's well-known for the Bungo-Mori Roundhouse, a significant railway heritage site. This area is ideal for travellers who appreciate having amenities and transport links close at hand.


For couples seeking a peaceful retreat, the Kuwakino area offers a tranquil escape. Located a short drive from Bungo-Mori, this district is set amidst lush greenery and is home to several ryokans (traditional Japanese inns), many of which feature private onsen (hot springs).

The best times to visit Kusu are during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities and sightseeing.


Spring in Kusu is particularly lovely, with mild temperatures and the beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom. It's a fantastic time for couples to enjoy romantic strolls through parks like the Kusu Flower Park or explore the scenic countryside. The comfortable weather makes it ideal for hiking or cycling along the various trails.


Autumn also offers excellent weather, with comfortable temperatures and stunning autumn foliage. The changing colours of the leaves create a picturesque backdrop for exploring natural attractions like the Bungo-Mori Roundhouse and the nearby Kuju Mountains.
