Japan is a wonderful place to visit, but you must also be careful in checking out the weather before actually going to the place. Japan is a lucky country as it gets to experience 4 seasons – winter, spring, summer, and autumn. Most tourists like to visit Japan during the spring time because of the infamous cherry blossoms. Yokohama is also a good place to visit during spring time, where you can relax in a rented Yokohama guesthouse and enjoy the cold, ocean breeze. This is also why most tourists prefer living in guesthouses in Yokohama because you can enjoy the Japanese scenery as if you were just at home.
December to February is winter in Japan, where the cold north winds blow and temperature drop to almost zero degrees. There’s also snow in Japan, even until February. And touring the countryside, such as Yokohama, during this season becomes so much more magical because everything is covered in snow. There’s also a bit more peacefulness in the environment during winter.
Japan is infamous for its beautiful cherry blossoms that signal the end of the cold winter and the start of spring. Come March, the snow melts and the white kingdom becomes transformed once again. Spring is a sign of new beginnings in Japan, and nature proves this in many ways.
June is called “Tsuyu” in Japan because it is a month full of rain and it also coincides with the ripening of the Japanese plum that is famous in Japan’s countryside. At the start of July, however, the temperature in Japan starts to rise and humidity also increases. During this season, most Japanese enjoy being outdoors and plan outdoor activities, things the weather only allows them to do during summer.
Finally, autumn in Japan is between September and November. After the hot and humid summer months, temperature starts to lower again in preparation for another cold winter. Temperature ranges from 15-20 degrees Celcius for most of autumn and it comes with a nice breeze as well especially in Yokohama, a city by the bay. Tourists can just sit back and enjoy the breeze in their rented Yokohama guesthouse and let the breeze take the worries away as well.
It seems that Japan is just the perfect place to travel to, no matter what the season. Different seasons bring different changes in Nature that are pleasant to see, and open several festivals as well for the people – both local and foreign – to enjoy.
