>Climate
The
climate in Japan is very seasonable, but it also varies
dramatically from the north to the south. Japan has four distinct
seasons. Summer is
hot and humid. In winter, it snows a lot on the Sea of Japan side, but
is dry on the
Pacific Ocean side. The rainy season lasts about 40 days during the
months of June and July. August to October is the typhoon season
in Japan.
The best time to travel
in Japan is early or mid-April or in late-October.
The
temperatures are mild and there is not too much rain at that time.
