Best of Japan Tour: Tokyo Kyoto Osaka Hakone

While Japan has distinct charms year-round, the peak of the rainy season (Tsuyu), typically in June and early July, can bring persistent rain and high humidity, which some travelers might find less enjoyable for extensive outdoor activities. Additionally, the Golden Week holidays (late April to early May) are a major domestic travel period, leading to higher prices and crowded attractions.

For a well-paced introduction to Japan, 10 to 14 days works best. It allows time to explore Tokyo’s modern culture, Kyoto’s temples and tea traditions, Osaka’s food scene, and a scenic escape to Hakone for Mount Fuji views. You’re not rushing through bucket-list highlights, yet still have space to slow down and enjoy the details.

Tokyo offers futuristic cityscapes, anime districts, and incredible dining. Kyoto brings serene shrines, geisha streets, and traditional craftsmanship. Osaka adds bustling markets, neon nightlife, and Japan’s top street food. Hakone lets you unwind in hot springs, ride cable cars, and spot Mount Fuji on a clear day. You can also take easy day trips to Nara for friendly deer and ancient temples or Hiroshima for powerful history and the iconic Miyajima Torii.

March to May and mid-September to November are ideal. The weather is pleasant, skies are clearer, and outdoor sightseeing feels enjoyable. Winter offers magical snow landscapes, while summer brings energetic festivals — but also higher humidity and crowds.

Cherry blossom season (late March to mid-April) transforms cities into soft pink dreamscapes where locals gather to celebrate life under blooming sakura trees. Autumn (late October to late November) paints temples, gardens, and mountains in fiery red and gold. Both seasons offer unforgettable scenery, limited-time foods, and a festive mood across Japan.

Kanazawa is ideal for art museums, samurai districts, and Japan’s most beautiful landscaped garden. Nagano offers snow monkeys, serene alpine villages, and great winter experiences. Nagoya blends manufacturing innovation, feudal castles, and easy access to theme parks like Ghibli Park. These additions deepen the cultural and scenic diversity of your trip.
