⚠️ Pitfall Tips
Save money, time & hassle
Mind the Heat
Rehai's water reaches about 97°C and the steam burns too. Keep hands and phones out of the vents and wear grippy shoes on wet paths.
Time the Ginkgo Gold
The gold lasts roughly mid-to-late November into early December — check recent photos before you go so you don't catch green trees.
Balloon Rides Need Calm Air
The volcano-park balloon flies only in calm weather; arrive early and keep your schedule flexible if you want a ride.
Hire a Car for Scattered Sights
Sights are scattered — hire a car or drive. Rehai is about 20 minutes from town, the ginkgo village about 40.
Sun & Temperature Swings
At about 1,600 m, UV is strong and mornings and evenings are cool — pack sunscreen and a light jacket.
