High Season
The months from April to May, and a few months later in August, are the weeks of high season. April and May are the months with the most pleasant weather, since spring comes in all its splendor, among these months we can find the season where the cherry trees bloom, however, August is not far behind, with a humid climate in general and hot for the summer, we can find the perfect month for festivals and the well-known O-bon. This season is usually full of tourists with the most abundant and expensive reservations.
Shoulder Season
The intermediate season in Japan is divided into two parts, from June to July and from September to December, in the first one we can find warm climates thanks to a generally rainy summer, however, in the mountains there is a cold and rewarding climate, on the other hand, between September and December the autumn passes, these months take part of the most beautiful season in Japan, with maple trees showing leaves of a thousand colors, rains abound from October to November and typhoons in September.
Low Season
January, February and March are months of low season, showing a winter with snowy mountains and cold winds. On the western coasts there are heavy snow and glacial winds, meanwhile on the Pacific coasts we can see clear and very cold climates. The ski season is the star of these months, being very accessible and with few tourists.
Your trip to Japan

Your travel to Japan has about 309% the climate impact as your entire yearly budget of CO₂ emissions. This "yearly climate-compatible budget" sets the limit of emissions any person should produce in order to keep global warming to below 2C at about 2 tons of CO2. It includes anything from heating to stay warm and cosy in winter, your daily hot showers, the annoying commute to work, any traveling you do, the production of your yummy food and products you buy – and much more you emit by living your life.

309%
Just like slow food – ever thought about slow travel? Discovering the hidden treasures nearby is a great new adventure. Go by train to get a better feeling of small changes in your surroundings or have a fun road trip with your friends.
If you still feel the need to fly, compensate your emissions.
