Best Time to Visit Japan
Climatic patterns in Japan are diverse, ranging from subtropical islands in the south to sub-arctic winter temperatures in northern Hokkaido. The best time to visit Japan is spring (late March to the late May) and fall (mid-October to early December) due to pleasant weather.
Like the neighbouring Korean Peninsula and most of China, Honshu (literally “Main Island” or “Main Province”), the island where most Japan visitors spend all their time, has cool and cold weather in winter (December-February). June, July and August is rainy season across Japan except Hokkaido. Autumn (September-November) is usually cool and clear on Honshu. Cherry blossom season from late March to early April and the autumn foliage season (late October, November & early December) see huge influx of international visitors to join the large number of local vacationers on the move.
Best Time to Visit South Korea
For the best weather, you should go to South Korea in the spring (late March to end of May) and autumn (late September to end of November). Korea has four distinct seasons with spring and autumn being the most pleasant for visitors.
