Best time to visit Japan

Japan has four distinct seasons, and the best time to visit depends on what kind of trip you want.

Spring (March–May) brings mild weather and cherry blossoms, making it one of the most popular times of the year.

Summer (June–September) is hot, humid, and full of festivals — great for lively cities and mountain escapes, though July and August are the busiest.

Autumn (October–November) is a favourite for many travellers thanks to comfortable temperatures and vibrant foliage.

Winter (December–February) is cold but atmospheric, especially if you’re planning to ski, visit onsen towns, or enjoy quieter temples and cities.
