SpringSpring in Japan is a season of new beginnings! Starting in March and ending in May, this season is often marked with flowering cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and other colourful blooms.

SummerSummer in Japan is a season of variety. It starts with a rainy season in June, before entering bright and sunny days in July and August. This season is often filled with vibrant festivals, fireworks, and lush greenery!

AutumnFrom September to November, Japan enters into a comfortable and cool autumn. This season often presents shifting colours of red maple leaves and yellow gingko trees.

WinterFrom December to February, winter in Japan is marked by glistening white landscapes, winter festivals, and nighttime illuminations. Some Northern areas can get as cold as -20°C!
