| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | Snow into April inland. Cherry blossom around late April, with mountains still white behind it. |
| June – August | Cool for Japan. The gorge and the cave are both comfortable in August, and the coast is clear. |
| September – November | Autumn colour from early October in the mountains. The best month for the gorge boats. |
| December – February | Cold and snowy inland, milder on the coast. The gold hall is at its quietest. |
