Japan
The first impression of folks who visit Japan is that they have taken a tiny step into the future, one that is mingled with an ancient culture that is vibrantly rich in tradition, discipline and eccentricity. Everything here is dedicated to excellence: from the ancient temples and martial spirit, to food, fashion, the arts, industry and architecture. Whether it's the Cherry Blossoms in springtime, or the Zen garden-temples of Kyoto, the vibrant shopping districts, museums, cafes of Tokyo and Kobe, or the powdery slopes of the Japanese Alps and Hokkaido, traveling to Japan always feels like the first time you fell in love.

Peak Season Description:
From mid-March onward and going into April, it is the Cherry Blossom season, a magical time to visit Japan; hotels fill up fast, cafes and parks are full of vibrant celebrations. May celebrates Golden Week, also a peak time for domestic travel, so advance booking is imperative. The festivals continue in August, a time of local holidays, after a brief lull of June and July.
Shoulder Season Description:
June and July are humid with chances of rain, and hence things ease off a little. Mid-July onwards is when festivals start up again; the humidity prevails in most parts of southern Japan, but Hokkaido is warm and dry. The color changes of Fall are absolutely magical, a phenomenon that lasts till November, along with cool, dry days. December gets chilly but the holiday season keeps the tourists coming in.
