Spring in Japan
Spring in Japan means verdant greenery, cherry blossom and perfect weather
As the mountain snows begin to recede and the bare trees start producing leaves, an exciting sense of tension takes over cities and towns across the country. By late March, the Japanese flock outside to reign in the season with the incoming cherry blossom.
During this period, most of Japan rests at a pleasant 12 degrees Celsius, meaning you can travel comfortably in light outerwear and sweaters. Moving into the mountains and up the northern island of Hokkaido, you’ll find chillier weather, and many Hokkaido ski resorts remain open well past March.
