4 Seasons to choose Japan
Winter (December – February)

Japan and Northern Japan are highly reputed regions for winter sports.
Southern Japan is comparatively mild and pleasant in winter.
Clothing: overcoats, sweaters, etc.

The plum blossom is a good sign that the cold winter will soon end andspring is just around the corner, followed by the cherry blossom at its bestin the Tokyo area between the end of March and the beginning of April tobring this beautiful season to a climax. Splendid views of mountains, fields
and gardens all blanketed in gentle pink abound in this season.
Clothing: light jackets, light sweaters and other similar kinds of tops.

Summer (June – August)Autumn (September – November)

The Japanese summer begins in June with a three to four week rainyseason. This is an important time for farmers to plant rice. It becomes
seriously hot and humid from July onward and many Japanese enjoy bathing
in the sea and relaxing at cool resorts in mountainous areas. Summer iswhen many interesting festivals and other events are held all over thecountry.
Clothing: light clothes (cardigans and other similar kinds are handy, sinceindoors are mostly air-conditioned.)

Autumn always brings such freshness with a light breeze and cooltemperature after the hot and humid summer. All forests are dyed inglorious autumn colors. Chrysanthemums create beautiful displays with
their abundance of flowers to enchant visitors to parks and gardens.
Autumn is also the season for many exhibitions, music concerts and sports
tournaments in Japan.
Clothing: light jackets, light sweaters and other similar kinds of tops.
