Japan has plenty to see and experience including beautiful gardens, great art, delicious food, interesting culture and lovely scenery.
The best times to visit are during spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), when Japan is at its most vibrant, with delicate cherry blossoms or bright red leaves adding contrast to the scenery.
Autumn, September to November
Autumn in Japan is about crimson leaves and perfect weather. The autumn foliage season begins in mid-September on the island of Hokkaido, the northernmost island.
In other parts of Japan, like Tokyo and Kyoto,
the best viewing times typically range from
mid-October through early December. Temperatures are cool but mild, ranging from about 24 °C on warm September days
to 7 °C in late autumn evenings.
Cherry Blossom Season
The cherry blossom season is during spring, from about end March until beginning of April.
The weather is on the cooler side, especially further north, so warmer clothing is needed but this isn’t the rainy season.
