Japan Vacations & Travel Tips
When to Go
The weather in Japan varies based on destination, but in general, the summer is warm (80°F) but not too warm, while the winter is cold (40°F) but not too cold. Spring and fall are excellent times to visit Japan, especially for nature lovers – the cherry trees blossom in late March to early April, while the leaves vibrantly change color in late fall. If you’re adverse to crowds, you’ll want to avoid major holidays like New Year’s and Golden Week (the end of April and the first week of May) when many Japanese workers have time off to take their own vacations. Popular attractions such as hanami (the viewing of cherry blossoms) and various religious festivals throughout the year can also increase lines and waits. June and July are the rainiest months of the year, and summers tend to be humid, so pack accordingly.
