What kind of experience is it to travel to Japan in rainy season?

Tourist season

The natural landscapes in all parts of Japan are beautiful all year round, each with its own style, and it is a veritable country suitable for playing all year round. When choosing the travel date, we should pay attention to three time periods: 65438+February 31-65438+1October 3, the Japanese "Golden Week" in early May and the Kogasawara Festival in mid-August. During this period, many shops and restaurants are closed, traffic is crowded and mixed, and air tickets to and from Japan will increase in price, but we can experience Japanese life and traditions. Besides the above, there are many unique traditional festivals and seasonal celebrations all over Japan. You can pay attention to whether you have encountered such festivals when traveling, and avoid these periods if you don't like crowds. In addition, 65438+ 10 and July are the best discount seasons for shopping. The following is introduced by season (Honshu Island is the main island, and the climate and tourist season of Hokkaido and Okinawa are slightly different).

Spring (March to May)

From the end of March to the beginning of April every year, it is a short and gorgeous cherry blossom season, during which schools open and new employees take up jobs. In a sense, every year is a "new beginning" for Japan. This season is the normal tourist season in Japan, and cherry blossom viewing resorts in Tokyo and Kyoto are crowded.

Summer (June to August)

June is usually the rainy season in Japan, which will have some influence on travel. The midsummer season after the plum rains is hot and humid, and the temperature is similar to that in south-central China. There are many seaside resorts along Japan's long coastline, which are very suitable for summer. It is also a good choice to go to the mountainous areas such as Karuizawa and Nagano for summer vacation. The summit route of Mount Fuji is also open to tourists in summer. There are many traditional festivals in Japan in summer. You can visit the night market and enjoy the fireworks show.

Autumn (September-165438+1October)

All over Japan, forests are dyed and red leaves are everywhere. Kyoto, Aomori and other places are good places to enjoy maple. Appreciating chrysanthemums is also a great tradition in Japan. Autumn is also called "Autumn of Culture" in Japan, and various exhibitions, concerts and sports competitions will be held.

Winter (65438+February-February)

In the coldest season, it snows everywhere in Japan, and soaking in hot springs in the snow is the greatest enjoyment. There are many ski resorts in the central, northeastern and Hokkaido areas to experience. Hokkaido also has world-famous festivals such as Sapporo Ice and Snow Festival and Otaru Snow Lantern Road.
