Tourism information

The best period to visit Japan is in March and April. Spring is also the season of the Sakura (cherry blossoms), which makes it the perfect time to get the best iconic scenes of Japan. Summer (June to August) is also quite frequented but the rain season in June and July and the hot and humid climate is not ideal. Fall (September to November) offers better conditions to visit Japan and is the period of the momiji, meaning red leaf as mapple leaves are turning red, creating beautiful scenes. Winter in Japan is cold but you can enjoy skiing or a hot bath in the onsen.
