Japan has four very different seasons, and the right one depends on what you want to see.
| Season | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Spring (late March – April) | Cherry blossom, busy cities, mild days |
| Summer (June – August) | Hot and humid, festivals, mountain walking |
| Autumn (October – November) | Red leaves, clear skies, our favourite season |
| Winter (December – February) | Snow in the mountains, hot springs, few visitors |
Our Japan departures run in spring and autumn. Private trips run all year.
