Tahun Baru adalah salah satu dari tiga musim perjalanan utama Jepang dengan aktivitas perjalanan domestik dan internasional yang intensif. Banyak toko, restoran, dan tempat wisata tutup setidaknya selama satu hari antara 29 Desember dan 4 Januari. Baca lebih lanjut tentang mengunjungi Jepang selama Tahun Baru.
Sisa bulan Januari adalah waktu yang baik untuk mengunjungi Jepang, karena cuaca biasanya cerah dan kering dan tempat-tempat wisata tidak terlalu ramai (kecuali mungkin sekitar Tahun Baru Imlek). Hanya di Jepang utara dan di sepanjang pantai Laut Jepang, ada banyak hujan salju, dan kondisinya bagus untuk olahraga musim dingin. Kelemahan dari kunjungan di musim dingin adalah hari yang relatif singkat (matahari terbenam sekitar pukul 5 sore di Tokyo) dan kondisi vegetasi yang tandus.

Seperti Januari, Februari adalah waktu yang tepat untuk mengunjungi Jepang karena cuaca biasanya cerah dan kering dan tempat-tempat wisata tidak terlalu ramai (kecuali mungkin sekitar Tahun Baru Imlek). Kelemahan dari kunjungan di musim dingin adalah hari yang relatif singkat (matahari terbenam sekitar pukul 17:30 di Tokyo) dan kondisi vegetasi yang tandus.
Jepang Utara dan pantai Laut Jepang menerima banyak hujan salju. Pada puncak musim dingin, Februari cenderung menjadi waktu terbaik untuk olahraga musim dingin dan melihat pemandangan musim dingin, seperti es yang melayang di lepas Hokkaido dan rumah pertanian yang tertutup salju di Shirakawago.

Tanaman dan pohon berbunga awal, seperti pohon plum, memberikan tanda-tanda pertama musim semi, sementara cuaca menjadi lebih sejuk. Menjelang akhir Maret, musim bunga sakura dimulai di wilayah tertentu, sementara di Jepang utara kondisinya masih bagus untuk olahraga musim dingin. Aktivitas perjalanan domestik meningkat pada paruh kedua bulan Maret karena liburan sekolah musim semi.

Selain musim gugur, April sering dianggap sebagai waktu terbaik untuk mengunjungi Jepang karena musim bunga sakura terjadi di sebagian besar wilayah negara dan cuacanya sangat sejuk. Aktivitas perjalanan domestik meningkat pada awal April karena liburan sekolah musim semi, pada akhir April karena dimulainya Minggu Emas dan selama sebagian besar sisa bulan karena musim bunga sakura.

Golden Week, salah satu musim perjalanan tersibuk di Jepang, berlangsung pada akhir April dan awal Mei dan dapat menjadi penyebab berbagai masalah terkait perjalanan.
Namun, sisa bulan Mei adalah salah satu waktu terbaik untuk mengunjungi Jepang, karena vegetasi telah menjadi subur, suhu masih nyaman dan tempat-tempat wisata cenderung sepi. Di Hokkaido, kemajuan musim semi tertunda sekitar satu bulan dibandingkan dengan Tokyo. Di ujung lain negara itu, di Okinawa, musim hujan (tsuyu) biasanya berlangsung dari awal Mei hingga pertengahan Juni.

From the beginning of June, the rainy season (tsuyu) visits most parts of Japan except Hokkaido. While it does not rain every day, the weather tends to be overcast and dreary. The duration and intensity of the rainy season can vary quite strongly from year to year.
Hot spring resorts like Hakone and the wooded temple mountain Koyasan are some places that can be quite attractive in rainy weather. Hokkaido is an attractive destination in June as it is least affected by the rainy season. Also, the weather in Okinawa takes a dramatic turn to the better after the end of the rainy season there in late June.

The rainy season (tsuyu) typically ends in the first half of July. It is hot and humid in most of Japan, and just standing outdoors can make you sweat. The conditions are more comfortable in higher elevations and in Hokkaido, a highly popular destination among outdoor lovers during the summer months.
Many local festivals and fireworks are held. Mount Fuji is opened for climbing. Cormorant fishing can be observed. It is also a very good time of the year for beach holidays in Okinawa. With the summer school holidays from late July through August, domestic travel activity increases considerably.

August is hot and humid in most of Japan. The conditions are more comfortable in higher elevations and in Hokkaido, a highly popular destination among outdoor lovers during the summer months. Many local festivals and fireworks are held in August. Travel activity is high during the entire month due to summer school holidays, but is especially intensive during the Obon week in mid August.

The typhoon season reaches its peak in August and September. Typhoons usually hit the coasts of Okinawa, Kyushu and Shikoku and cause strong rain and wind in wide parts or all of Japan for about two days. Luckily, typhoons are often followed by perfectly clear weather. The weather in September can still be quite hot and humid, but the crowds of August have mostly disappeared.

November is one of the best times to visit Japan, as the weather is relatively dry and mild, and the autumn colors are spectacular in many parts of the country. Travel activity tends to be low except around popular autumn leaf spots.

December is a good month for traveling thanks to generally dry weather conditions. Domestic travel activity remains low during the first half of December until the beginning of winter school holidays around December 23. The downsides of a visit in winter are the relatively short days (sunset is around 4:30pm in Tokyo) and the barren state of the vegetation. From around December 29 some tourist attractions close down for the New Year holidays. The ski season starts in December.

Apakah Anda lebih suka bepergian dengan sekelompok besar teman atau sendirian? Jika bepergian sendirian terdengar menakutkan, itu karena Anda belum menyadari mengapa itu bisa menjadi cara terbaik untuk pergi. Saya tidak punya alasan untuk bepergian sendirian lagi, dan aku merindukannya. Saya merindukan saat-saat ketika saya akan check-in untuk penerbangan dan membiarkan mata saya berkeliaran di sekitar area tunggu di gerbang, mencoba menebak siapa teman dudukku nanti. Saya selalu berharap s
