Japan is an island country offering a combination of ancient traditions and cutting-edge modernity. March, April and May is Japan’s cherry blossom season, bringing breathtaking beauty to cities like Tokyo and Kyoto, while the weather is perfect for exploring historic temples, gardens, and vibrant neighbourhoods. This season is ideal for visiting Kyoto’s traditional tea houses, Tokyo’s futuristic attractions, and the scenic beauty of Mount Fuji. During the summer period, the country is full of festivals and fireworks that bring a new lively atmosphere into the country, a great time to explore Japan’s coastal areas and islands, such as Okinawa. Autumn with its fall foliage is perfect for hiking in the Japanese Alps or exploring the colourful gardens in cities like Kanazawa. However, if you are a snow aficionado, winter is ideal for skiing in Hokkaido before soaking in hot springs in an onsen town. Japan offers diverse climates and experiences, perfect for both family vacations and solo adventures filled with unique encounters.
