So the guidebooks say springtime is the time to go (with the blossoming trees and all).. does it really make a big difference which season you go to Japan?

mrgizmo says on Jul 31, 2008, 09:29: I went to Japan during the cherry blossom season (April). I went to Tokyo, Kyoto,Kobe, Osaka and to an islandcalled Awaji island where only nationals go. It was beautiful if not espectacular. The scenery alone makes the trip worthwhile. The weather was ok, some rain but being Colombian I'm used to it. In Awaji Island I stayed at a Japanese Inn where everything is traditional from the Japanese bath to the dining room in kimono. I will never forget that trip.

TravelFamily says on Sep 10, 2008, 00:26: While cherry blossom season is beautiful, I love it when we have visitors in October. I love the cooler weather after a hot summer (August is usually quiet hot and humid) and it makes for easier walking and train riding. June and part of July is the rainy season (tsuyu - plum rain because that's when the plums are ripe). If you're thinking of climbing Mt. Fuji, then the climbing season is July and August. That is an experience well worth the trouble!! Also, you don't want to visit here during Golden Week (Here's a 2009 calendar - http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2282.html). Everybody and their brother goes to their hometown for the festivities and the roads are gridlocked. It's also pretty hard to get a reservation any place. We pretty much stay home during Japanese holidays due to traffic. Do you know where you want to visit?

Such that entire families or groups of friends hangout in the best central locations at the park under the pre-blossoming cherry trees very much like families sit by the curb for the best view during Rose Parade Celebration on New Years Day in Pasadena CALIFORNIA USA.
