Japan is beautiful year round – but having your interests in mind can help choose the best dates
Spring (March-May) – Cherry Blossom/ Sakura Season
Summer (June – August) – The Rainy Season
Fall (September – November) – Fall Foliage Season
Winter (December – February) – Skiing Season
Depending on the area you are travelling in and the timing – there may be a festival happening.
Some festivals to watch out for:
A highlight is the cherry blossoms – their bloom changes year to year, and with the varying altitudes – there is a wide range of dates to see the ‘hanami’ (flower viewing) Cherry Blossom Forecast Website
There may be larger crowds, and prices may become more expensive
Summer may be more pleasant in the mountains – it can get hot, humid and rainy during the summer
If you would like to climb Mt. Fuji – the main climbing season is July and August.
Japan is a land of four seasons – and the fiery colours of the autumn leaves is a stunning sight to behold
Winter is a time of snow and skiing – as well as crisp clear air – the best time to see Mt. Fuji from Tokyo.
It’s a time with few tourists, so you can avoid the crowds.
