They are in the order most people enjoy them.
| Months | What it is like |
|---|---|
| March – May | The best walking season. Cherry blossom on the plateau is later than the coast, in mid-April. |
| June – August | Heavy rain in June, and this is one of the wettest parts of Japan. Koyasan stays cool in August. |
| September – November | Autumn colour at Koyasan in early November is the peak of the year. |
| December – February | Snow on the plateau and freezing mornings in the temples. Coastal Shirahama stays mild. |
