Japan

The best times to travel to Japan include enjoying cherry blossoms in spring (March to May), experiencing summer festivals in summer (June to August), admiring maple leaves in autumn (September to November), and enjoying hot springs and snow scenery in winter (December to February). Avoid the crowds during Golden Week (end of April to early May) and other consecutive holidays.

Must-visit attractions in Japan include Hokkaido’s natural scenery and food, Kyoto’s thousand-year history, culture and natural scenery, the magnificent landscape of Mount Fuji, as well as shrines, temples and traditional markets in various places.
