There are generally three best seasons to visit Japan, each with its own charms. The Spring months of March and April are perhaps the busiest in Japan as sakuras bloom across the country. Autumn from September to November also brings cooler weather and stunning scenery of bright red maple leaves.
For those looking for a white snowy holiday, Winter from December to February generally transforms Hokkaido and the Japanese alps into winter wonderlands, perfect for snow activities.
As one of the most popular destinations in 2023, Japan is expecting tourists to flock back in the millions. This is on top of their own locals who are theme park fanatics too. This has resulted in long queues at many top attractions like Disneyland and Universal Studios Japan.
To avoid disappointment, it is highly recommended that you purchase your tickets ahead of time, especially if you plan to visit during the high seasons.
