Here is a Seasonal Guide to Visiting Japan: From Spring to Winter

1. Spring (March to May)

Japan has cherry blossoms that celebrate spring and time of renewal.

2. Summer (June to August)

Japan is full of energy, color and tradition in summer. Fireworks festivals, lively parades and refreshing beach getaways are in the season.

3. Autumn (September to November)

Then again in autumn, Japan’s landscapes change to show a breathtaking palette of red, orange and gold. Places like Nikko, the Japanese Alps and Kyoto’s temple gardens become postcard perfect from the fall foliage, or koyo.
