The best time to visit Japan is during late spring and late autumn between the months from March to May and September to November.

These are the seasons when Japan experiences a pleasant climate, and there is little rainfall. The weather during spring and autumn in Japan is marked by clear skies and mild temperatures. Therefore, it is also the best season to visit Japan for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Japan enjoys four distinct seasons such as Spring, Summer, Winter, and Autumn where each season holds cultural importance in the country. During the spring season in Japan, the cherry blossom offers a delight to the tourists coming and subtle yet vivid hues of autumn leaves offer the best experience of nature. See the complete weather information of Japan below.

June to mid-September (21°C to 10°C): The months from mid-June to mid-September is considered as the summer season in Japan. During this time, the temperature remains high and the weather is hot and humid. The areas in Japan which are at an altitude get covered with a variety of hydrangeas during this time and offer a pleasant experience for tourists visiting here. The month of August is known as the best time to visit Japan as the country sees a lot of crowds as it is the time of summer vacation for students and many people come here to spend their vacation.

Ankita's 5 days trip to Japan

I booked via TT, agency Serene Holidays for my South Korea tour. My tour was a mix of personal planning and agency planning. I was worried that this mix and match may create an issue for the agent. However, Darpan was really amazing while helping me plan for the trip. Given that we were extremely unsure, he demonstrated an amazing level of patience, was open to multiple ideas (thanks to the confused us!) and also helped us in zeroing down to the best solution given our travel intention. We planned part of our Seoul + Busan tour along with additional requests like pickup and drop which wasn't in the original plan. Darpan accommodated all our requests, even when some changed at the last minute. This really took the stress out of the trip planning. On the actual trips - the partners for local tours identified were amazing. The trips were extensive, the guides were knowledgeable, and we were able to experience the place with the full charm. No undercutting, and no overdoing! The trips started from our hotel which was an added plus. The hotel in Busan, which was booked by them had an amazing location - right in the middle of the train station and the subway. It literally took us 2 mins to reach either location. Only thing - the rooms were very small. However, I can ignore that keeping the other benefits in mind. All in all, thanks to TT and Serene for making this a beautiful event. I will definitely keep them in mind while booking future trips !

Overall it was a great experience and will come back again.

Anita's 6 days trip to Japan

The services of the travel agent - Street Romeo was excellent . Very professional and took care of everything. The involvement of TT was limited. A lot of repeated automated mails from TT and quotes that keep coming long after the trip is over. The service could be more personal.

Manisa Mishra Hyderabad

Rashmi's 6 days trip to Japan

We went to Japan for a family vacation through Wanderbird. Raunak and his team customised the perfect itinerary for us and made sure that we had a seamless experience. Raunak was always available for every little query before the trip and even when we were in Japan we could reach out to him anytime. It’s one of the most memorable trips that we have had and a major reason for that is the guidance and assistance received from Raunak. Wherever we go next, it has to be through Wanderbird. Keep up the good work.

Srishti's 6 days trip to Japan

Visited Japan from 30.1.20.to 6.1.20. All the bookings were planned by Ms Divya of Booking World. She took personal interest in my case and daily she used to talk to my twice daily regarding my itenery. She did it because I am a senior citizen and solo Traveller. Best part of the visit was visit to Mt Fuji and robot restaurant. I visited so many gardens and learned the Japanese way of landscaping
