When to go to Japan?
Winters can be very harsh in the North of the country, with temperatures that can drop below 0°C/ 32°F on the island of Hokkaido. Snowfalls are very common in this part of Japan where you can find different ski resorts. At the same time of the year, the southern part of the country enjoys a milder climate as it is open to the Pacific Ocean. As a result, Tokyo can be quite sunny during wintertime with temperatures going from 2°C / 35°F to 10°C / 50°F.
Spring in Japan can be quite sunny and not very rainy. In Tokyo, temperatures can reach 20°C / 68°F. But it is above all the blossoming season of the famous Japanese cherry trees, an event celebrated by all the inhabitants. Spring, and especially April, is the best time for a holiday in Japan.
Summer in Japan is the rainy season. From June to July, there are heavy rainfalls and temperatures begin to go up. They can range from 25°C to 30°C. In the North of the country, on Hokkaido, the climate is more bearable with less rain and heat. August to October is the typhoon season.
Autumn/Fall in Japan is a pleasant season with mild temperatures and low humidity.
