When is the best time of year to visit Japan? -

I m thinking of visiting Japan next year but I m not sure what season or month to go. Thanks!

In the spring, may is the best time to go. It s beautiful - not too hot, not too cool, not much rain, and not too humid. Right now (May 25th) is amazing. Soon, it ll be rainy season though, which is a horrible time in Japan. In the fall, September or October is best. It depends on whether or not you want to see the changing of the colours of the trees. If you do, late October is best. If you just care about coming during a comfortable time of year, September is best. As for winter, if you are a big skier, then you should come in February. The ski resorts here are generally at their best then. Nagano has the best snow in Japan. Don t come in summer. It s not an enjoyable season.. too hot, and too humid. Avoid June (rainy season) and August (extremely hot and humid, except in Hokkaido) at all costs.

actually this is not informative as the answerer says September is the best for comfortable weather. This is not true in the slightest as Japan often gets hit by typhoons at this time. Avoid September. Report Abuse

Avoid June as its the rainy season and September as its the typhoon season. The first week of May is also to be avoided as this is Golden Week when prices are high and every place crowded. The New Years time is also bad as many places will be closed. July and August are hot and humid but there are a lot of festivals going on. October and November are good times to go as the weather is fair and clear with the leaves changing in November. end of march thru mid-April is good for cherry blossoms though weekends will be crowded. The rest of May after Golden Week is a good time to travel as the weather is good and everyone is back at work or school

you should go in spring (march-may) because plum blossoms start blooming and you can visit plum festivals in parks and gardens. or in the fall (september-november) because there are many regional festivals and more opportunities to see other festivals. try to avoid going in the summer or winter ...because if you go in the winter.. there will be alot of people there. and the highways,airlines,and trains will be extremely crowded because people might be visiting relatives for the new year s holiday. and if you go in the summer..there might be alot of rain. have a great trip!
