Japan's distinct seasons means that the country is a fantastic year-round destination. March to May is the most popular time to visit Japan, with milder temperatures, relatively low rainfall and frequent clear days coinciding with the Sakura or Cherry Blossom Season. Late September to November boast similar weather but as the colours change on the trees, Japan's cherry blossom trees take on a whole new beauty. Across the whole country, the climate varies considerably, the north being cooler than the south.
Late November to mid March is generally colder than the UK and certain regions receive a lot of snowfall. July and August are hot and often humid (with the exception of Hokkaido) and there is a short rainy season beginning around June. From late May through to September occasional typhoons come in from the Pacific.
