The best time to travel to Japan is during the spring and summer months. From April the weather gets significantly warmer, in May the average temperatures are already over 20 °C. You have about the same temperatures in September or October.
The time when the cherries start to bloom is especially beautiful in Japan. Cherry blossoms do not reach the main islands until March, but on Okinawa you can already discover the first blossoming cherry trees towards the end of January or beginning of February. A good opportunity to experience Japan from its best side off the peak tourist season.
