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. Trekkers can visit Mt. Fuji during the months of July and August.

October to January (19°C to 3°C): Duration between the months of October and November is the time of the shoulder season in Japan. During these months, Japan enjoys a relatively pleasant climate. However, the winter season in Japan falls during the months from January to March. It is a low season for tourists who do not prefer touring in cold weather. Winter is generally low season and can be a good time to visit if you don’t mind temperature drop.

February to May (-1°C to 22°C): During the months of February and March, the country still experiences a winter season. As it is the low season for Japan tourism during these months, accommodation rates see a fall. However, during the last few days of April and early days of May, Golden Week takes place which attracts a lot of tourists.

But it is one of the most exhilarating seasons to visit Japan. Japan hosts an array of street festivals along with fireworks display during this time. In August, the famous festival lanterns can be seen floating across the skies of Japan.

It is also during the spring season when people flock here to celebrate hanami (blossom viewing) picnics. Tourists also take part in merry-making and get together. Make sure to try the sakura-flavored Japanese confectioneries and beers. Spring time is also the peak season in Japan, so make sure to book your tickets and other travel plans in advance.

Winter Season in Japan

One can easily find a number of ski resorts in various parts of Japan. Hokkaido in Japan receives nearly hundred days of snow every winter. If you are here during the winter season in Japan, enjoy at a hot spring resort or stay at a traditional Japanese inn, ryokan.

Japan Packages Reviews

Read on to find out why our customers love us!

Bhavika's 11 days trip to Japan

They provided us wonderful package and Raunak guided us through the entire trip. We had an amazing time in South Korea as everything was arranged as per our requirement.Raunak made sure everything was arranged and we had a smooth transition from one city to another. He would call us everyday to make sure we didn't have any issues with the hotel. Car arrangements, tour packages. We will surely book more vacations with Wanderbird.

Bhavika Vicky Shah Mumbai

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.

Rashmi Bhatia Mumbai

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

Rohit Rohit Delhi

Rahul's 7 days trip to Japan

Destination Japan 13th December, It was extremely planned trip and went without any hiccups.... The itenary was well thought of. The coordination was extremely wonderful from both sides, Special thanks to Sachin, Nitesh and Shubhangi. Special thanks to Hiroshima Guide Mrs Nobu. One of the excellent guides.

Rahul Deshpande Mumbai

Aradhanapia's 13 days trip to Japan

Thanks for a nice trip. There were many positives and nice / polite helps which enables this marvelous trip. If you want an appreciation mail, We can give a detailed one separately. In this mail we are concentrating on improvement points. There were several errors and faults/gaps that could have been easily avoided. Overall we would like to rate the trip as 3.8 out of 5 scale regarding your help and service. The points to be noted. 1 ) In the bus from Haneda airport the driver asked " which Apa hotel you are going ? ... There are many Apa Hotels ? You should have told us ( Aradhana Family and the driver ) that the Apa Hotel near Nishi Shinjuku Gochome station is where we are going. I am attaching a screenshot from google maps in this discussion. You can help your customers with these kind of screen shot maps. As we were not sure, the driver found out with lot of trying with Japanese maps. 2 ) In Haneda airport we were busy locating the driver and searching for data card, so that we can establish communication. The condition that Tokyo metro pass can be activated only from Haneda airport was a big error choice from your side. We missed that and lost that pass fully. Metro train pass can be easily bought anywhere. You should have left that option to us, in case the driver did not turn up. 3 ) For Tokyo tour the bases leaves from a building next to Shinjuku police station. The police station is very prominently known by all. While searching " Love Building " or Love sign or Love statue in front of some building we realized that almost everyone does not speak English, nor there is any building named as " Love Building ". It was 1 chome Building and on the Footpath LOVE is made by structure. 3 ) At Toyoma no one speaks English. The Boys and Girls, Men and Women in Hotel counter also do not speak English. There was big confusion to realize that our rooms were booked the Number to Annex building 1/2 km away in Toyoko Inn Hotel chain and not in the main one near the station. If it was in the building near the station it would have been only 1 km walk with lots of luggage. We had to walk 1/2 km more. There was no lock in the bathrooms of the rooms to Toyoko Inn Hotel ( annex 2 ). These kind of rooms are dangerous as can cause major misunderstanding is someone enters the bathroom, while someone else is using it. 4 ) At Nagoa The Red Planet Hotel was very nice. But very far from Main Railway station. You should have advised us to go to the Hotel by Taxi from Station. We took train to a small station and then walked more than 2 km with luggage, as we were not sure of the best choices. 5 ) In general try to communicate to people with description of multiple landmarks. Your decision of sending our passports to Bangalore office after being rejected from Delhi should have been told to us. We were not aware of these decisions taken by you. We came to know about Visa delay very late. As per our understanding of dates, you sat on our passport, without any action for almost 1 week,( at Gurgaon ) and then rushed around. This is the main reason why we rated your service as 3.8 out of 5. Thanks and Regards Aradhana and Subhashish
