The best time to go to Sakurajima Matsu-Ura Cho is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months.


Spring offers pleasant temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it comfortable for exploring the island. The landscape is lush, and you might catch some late cherry blossoms in the surrounding Kagoshima prefecture, though Sakurajima itself isn't known for cherry blossoms.

Autumn also provides mild weather, with temperatures similar to spring. The skies are often clear, offering excellent visibility of the volcano and the surrounding Kinko Bay.
