We typically suggest the following times to visit Japan: 

Spring (late February - late May): Spring”s mild temperatures are ideal for all kinds of activities. This is, of course, also the time when the sakura (cherry blossoms) bloom. 

Summer (June - August): The heat quickly takes over from the rainy season at the end of June. Despite the heaat, you can still enjoy the many fireworks displays and open-air matsuri (traditional festivals). 

Autumn (September - November): Temperatures are pleasant during this season and the momiji (maple leaves) glow gorgeous colors 

Winter (December - February): Discover gorgeous winter landscapes, such as the Zen Garden of Kanazawa under the snow. January is defined by numerous festivities and the winter sports craze! 

The most popular travel periods are: 
- Early January: for New Year's Eve, when many businesses and activities are closed 
- February: the plum blossom season and the 10 days around Chinese New Year are a big draw for tourists from Asia 
- Late March - early April: cherry blossom season 
- Late April - early May: "Golden Week" is a period of many public holidays. Many people in Japan go on vacation 
- Mid-August: during the Obon Matsuri 
- Late November: for momiji viewing 

To avoid the crowds, Japan Experience recommends: 
- February: outside the Chinese New Year period 
- Mid-May - early June: to take advantage of mild weather and more affordable prices just before the rainy season 
- September - early December: to enjoy mild temperatures and autumn leaves

This depends on the tour you choose for your trip. Some include breakfast only, such as our self-guided tours, while others, like our group tours, include 3 meals. Inclusions can also vary according to stage, with dinner included for a night in a ryokan, for example.

The price varies according to the number of nights and participants. It will also take into account the number of visits and activities organized. Expect to pay between 750 and 2600 euros per person for our self-guided tours, and between 2000 and 6500 euros per traveler for our small-group tours.
