In Japan, the year is divided into four periods, from March to May, spring, June to August summer, September to November fall, December to February winter. In spring, summer, autumn and winter, temperature and climate change significantly.

⬜︎SPRING

The cold is loose and the air gets warmer gradually, the best season of travel.

Speaking of the landscape symbolizing the spring of Japan, cherry blossoms, no matter what. The cherry-blossom spot in each area will have an event of cherry-blossom viewing. The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are around the end of March in early April.

⬜︎SUMMER

From the end of June to the middle of July, rainy days are called "rainy season". Temperature temporarily lowers and it gets chilly.

When that time is over, the temperature rises at a stretch and the full summer is coming.

Speaking of summer events in Japan, it is a summer festival and a fireworks display.

A summer festival is held from July to August all over Japan, people walking around the shrine walk around. Fireworks festivals are held at the coast and riverbanks, and the skyrocketed vivid colors of the night sky.

⬜︎AUTUMN

The heat is relaxing, the humidity also drops, the air is dry but the season is easy to spend. Like the spring cherry blossom season, autumn leaves spots such as Kyoto, Nara and Nikko are crowded with many tourists who visited in search of red leaves hunting. During this period various cultural events are held.
