Practical information

Best time to go

Spring (cherry blossoms, late March to early April) and autumn (November, red leaves) are the most popular periods; Japan's official tourism site recommends autumn for the foliage. June to July is the rainy season and late summer brings a risk of typhoons, making these periods less suitable.
