The best time to visit Shishihama is during the autumn months, from September to November, or in late spring, during May and early June, to enjoy pleasant weather and avoid the peak humidity and crowds.Autumn offers comfortably mild temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C, making it ideal for exploring the coastal areas and engaging in outdoor activities. The sea remains warm enough for diving and snorkelling well into October, and the clear skies provide excellent visibility for underwater photography. You'll also find fewer domestic tourists compared to the summer holidays.Late spring, particularly May and early June, also presents favourable conditions before the onset of the summer rainy season. Temperatures are similar to autumn, and the lush greenery around the peninsula is at its peak. This period is particularly good for those interested in marine life, as the waters are generally calm and clear.While summer (July and August) is popular for beach activities, it can be very hot and humid, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, and typhoon season can bring heavy rainfall.
