The island country of Japan in Northeast Asia is the symbol of futuristic creations like the bullet train, outdoor adventures such as Mount Fuji, and the yummiest food you will ever put beyond your lips.
While the expensive prices tend to turn those traveling on a budget off, the country is actually very doable on the cheap once you plan in advance.
Let's show you what to expect.
When Is The Best Time To Visit Japan?
Japan has a variety of seasons you should know about before you arrive.
Tourists tend to save their trip to Japan between March and May and September and November as the weather is warm and a lot dryer than at other times of the year. Plus, it's the Cherry Blossom Season in March, which everyone wants to see. Bear in mind that because of the nice weather, lots of people are traveling so the prices of everything dramatically increase.
A much more affordable time to visit Japan is in the summer months, from June until August, but this is when the rain is the heaviest, and there's a possibility of typhoons. But if you can brave the off-season, you'll be treated to a low-cost vacation.
Look at flying to Japan in the winter, December to March; when temperatures drop significantly, it's not uncommon for them to drop into the minuses. If you're a fan of skiing, this is an excellent time to travel to Japan.
