what about end September? is it a good time to travel to Japan?

we are planing to visit from Jan last to feb is that a good time

Thank you for finding my channel. :)

May I ask how do you know such fluent English for a Japanese men?

Hello Serge san. That's a nice season for Autumn leaves and not too cold yet. You can get around a lot. :)

Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching. It's not raining everyday during rainy season, so it can be nice start of the summer days. ✨🌞

how was it>?

How exciting that you are thinking of 2 trips to Japan. After Golden week is my favorite season with lots of greens. I think late October is also nice season as Autumn starts. I wish you the best trip to Japan. :)

I'm glad you liked them. Thank you. :)

How were the flight fares? I’m planning to visit Japan this year, but which of the 3 months is the best to go? I mean weather/priceswise etc? I know March to April can be very expensive, due to famous festivals and high season, while June to August can be incredibly hot..If you got any tips for me, feel free to respond. Thanks

@@ParaSF4 I don't fly regularly enough to tell if the fares are better or worse than average. I _can_ tell you that a flight with Finnair from Stockholm via Helsinki to Tokyo and back, flying out on 29 October and home 18 November, cost me 15 600 SEK. I have been told that May, apart from Golden Week, is pleasant for us scandinavians, as are October and November. June and July are rainy, and August - September are typhoon season in addition to still being hot and humid in general. I'd very much like to experience the cherry blossoms or Christmas lights, though.

Hello. It's a little warmer than usual winter this year. I hope you enjoy your trip. :)

Hello. Thank you for watching. The weather is cold in February, but as long as that is ok with you, I think it's a great time to travel. Usually no snow in Tokyo and Kansai, so you can easily get around places. Trees are dead and not the best looking maybe, but if that is your time you can visit, nothing is wrong with February. :)

Sounds great! Wish you and your family the best trip in Japan:)

Thank you for watching my videos! I hope you find them helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions.

So, how was it?

I hope so too! Good luck on your visa. :)

It will be very hot and humid. If that is ok with you, I think it would be great trip. It really depends on how you are durable to the summer heat. :)

Hello. Thank you for watching the video. The weather during that period is in transition from Spring to Summer, so it can be any weather. Usually the rainy season starts in early or mid June and lasts about a month. But even during the rainy season, it doesn't rain everyday :)

@@tokyokenchan Thanks a lot for the response, much appreciated! :)

Hello, thank you for watching. This year, Golden Week is pretty long from April 29 to May 7th. Something get difficult during GW is getting seat on train, and airplane tickets get expensive, so I recommend you to make reservations in advance. You might want to book rental car soon if you are going to do driving trip. Once you get there, Hokkaido (except Sapporo) is probably not that busy and good place to drive around. The load to Wakkanai is nice. I'm going to do similar trip in the end of May. :)

Great to have your confirmation, and good to know GW is extra long this year. If I do this trip in Hokkaido, I'll try to share my experience. Best wishes!

Let's hope. I wish you the best trip in Japan in September. :)

Thank you. I just mentioned about the beach in a new video. :)

Hello. I think it depends on where you are from. It's usually hot and humid but you feel the end of summer time to time in the evening.

Thank you for watching. Sorry if I made you worried. The only concern is the crowd of Shinkansen or airplanes, but otherwise, it's actually a very interesting period to stay that you can feel a lot of Japanese culture, on new years eve that people rush to do shopping, January 1st that people line up for shrine to pray, and people rush to the stores on 2nd or 3rd to get lucky bags of new years. :) The weather is usually sunny in Tokyo, and north country side will be covered by deep snow, so perfect for hot-springs if you are interested. One tip I can mention from my experience is, maybe it helps to book the reserved seats of trains and hotels early, especially between Dec.30 to Jan.3. The JR tickets become on sale a month ago of the day you take - eg. If you take Dec.30 to Kyoto, it becomes on sale on Nov.30 10am Japan Time. It's not a big matter if you stay in the city during that period though. So as long as you are prepared, it's a great season to visit. :) Thank you again.

how was it?

@@setrannn It was great! As Kengo-san mentioned, we got to see Japanese cultural traditions like hatsumode which is only done around New Years so that was quite interesting. The only drawback was that many shops/restaurants are closed around New Years and we found Google Maps was often inaccurate on open days/times so we had a couple of missteps.

If you like to see the snow for sure, you usually don't see it in those cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Probably you can make a trip to mountain regions in Gifu, Nagano, or Tohoku, Hokkaido.Thank you for watching. :)

@@tokyokenchan - Sounds great! Will be sure to visit those places. Thank you for your suggestions :)

Hi, thank you. :) usually during your travel period, it can be hot and humid in Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. You can bring your foldable umbrella 🌂 but you can also purchase here if the weather is not good.

@@tokyokenchan omgg okayy, thank you so much for the informations and your suggestions ^.^

Hi. It starts to get cozy to hot and humid in the end of May, but not as bad as mid-summer. But every year it's different recently.

​@@tokyokenchansan, thank you very much for your feedback.

Season wise, end of April would be the best for everybody without worrying about summer heat or typhoon. Both of those dates comes with Japanese holiday Golden Week and Obon, then I would go for April. :)

I think late May for the weater. We don't know how the weather will be actually, but early September is very hot usually and has possibility of typhoon too. Again we can't predict the actual weather, but May is one of the best season temperature wise.

Thank you for watching. It's usually cold and snowing in Sapporo by mid-December. ⛄️

@@tokyokenchan THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION❤

Do not worry. It doesn't rain all the time even rainy season, and it can rain in any season in Japan. Wish you the great trip to Japan. :)

Hello. I'm sorry I cannot tell which week is better for the weather. Typhoon can come anytime until early Autumn, but if you are going to visit Nikko or mountain area, the color starts to change in late September.

End of March to April is still chilly but you see cherry-blossom everywhere. If you are interested in it, it's a great season that winter changes to spring. May is much warmer and green is beautiful after the Golden Week. I hope you come up with a great travel plan. :)

Hi. September is still hot and humid usually. You can stay in summer clothes but it might help to have something you can put on.

In some year late typhoon comes but usually it has lots of sunny days and mild confortable weather. :)

I like many places but somewhere I like to go frequently is hot-springs in the mountain regions especially in winter, also Hokkaido, Okinawa islands, and Kyoto. I'm working on the similar topic video "where to go in Japan". :)

@@tokyokenchan thanks

I think it will be a great weather. :)

It's cold in January but it has high chance of sunny days and you can enjoy deep snow in mountain area. Have a great trip to Japan. :)

Hello. I think the end of November is good season to visit. Kyoto might be almost ending of colors, and Tokyo is in the peak. My Kyoto video (21 things to do) and "4 Temples to Visit in Tokyo" has the scenery from that season.

Yes, Kyoto is always crowded but especially in Cherry blossom season and Fall season. But it worth visiting in my opinon. Please also see my other video of how to avoid crowd in Kyoto. :)

It can be 30-38C in day time, and very humid. It depends on the favor and physical condition, also where you are from. I like summer in Tokyo and Kyoto as the day is longer, more events and easier to for cloth choice, somehow more beautiful taste in scenes, but it can be very hot in day time that might be hard for visitors from cooler country. Whichever season you visit, there is a way to enjoy. :)

I think so, the it's end of Autumn - early Winter. No guarantee as the climate changes recently, but that is not a season with lots of rain.

@@tokyokenchan even better, I was worried about it being everyday raining. ( even though it still can happen . ) want to go during that time so we can see the Christmas lights. What are good places you recommend eating/drinking at

It's still cold like in winter in Tokyo, but you see Kawazu cherry blossom in some areas. Thank you for watching.

Khob khun ka 🇹🇭Thank you so much

Hi, the opening date changes every year, but for 2022 it seems Yeti ski resort opened by December, and Fujiten opened December 17. So you might be able to go yo Yeti but it’s the other side of mountain from Lake Kawaguchiko.

@@tokyokenchan thanks for the response. Is it possible for me to find out with the resort directly?

Hello, the parks are busy even during mid-summer, so people manage to enjoy the park in summer heat too. I like summer as I said at the end of the video. :)

@@tokyokenchan thanks a lot for the reply.

Yes, July 29th, 2023 is Sumida River Fireworks festival in Asakusa area. www.sumidagawa-hanabi.com/ and Nagaoka in Niigata. nagaokamatsuri.com/en/ on August 2, 3.

Sounds great that you are visiting Japan soon! Yes, unless typhoon comes when you move inter cities, you should be fine no matter what the weather is. Let's hope to have a nice weather! ☀️

If you stay in Tokyo, I don't think you need jacket. But it's always help to carry something light to put on. :)

How was your visit to Tokyo in May and how was the weather? I'm planning to go in May of 2025 (a few days after Golden Week). I've been torn between choosing May or Nov. But I like longer daylight days in May.

Thank you for the great question. In mid May, usually Tokyo is already warm enough for short sleeve, but always better to carry something long sleep so that you can add one layer in the evening. If you are from somewhere warm, it might feel cold. If you are from somewhere cold, it might be ok. If you are going to Hokkaido or higher mountain areas, you might want carry a jacket with you.

@@tokyokenchan thank you 😊

Hello. I think the weather is quite stable in February in Tokyo. Usually sunny and cold. If you go to the mountain side of Niigata or Tohoku, it's covered by heavy snow. ⛄️

@@tokyokenchan Thank you for your response... Tokyo, here I come...

Hello. You might want to bring some light jacket if you have as it may feel cold some morning and nights. Have a great trip in Japan.

Hi there! I too am in a similar situation, planning for a solo trip but can go only after June 17th for about 10 days. What have you decided? :D

@@theubiwhovian Had to come up with an option C because of my friend. Our trip will be now from July 20th - August 4th. It got more expensive but we should not have to worry about the weather.

@@xxx9208 ah, brilliant! Have a good one 🙌

Nov 3rd is national holiday.

I am planning on going in the first of September and stays for about 15 days but don`t know if the weather is still rainy and hot

Same question. Is it rainy or hot on the first week of Sept? Thanks for this very informative video by the way 😊

It's usually in rainy season, but usually it doesn't rain everyday and sometimes not at all. Even if you avoid rainy season, it can rain anytime so I think you'll be fine. :)

@@tokyokenchan thankyou so much. For your reply.

It can be any wheather, sunny or rainy. Usually16 - 22 degree or so. Have a great trip.

It's like a lottery about the typhoon. International flights to Tokyo are rarely cancelled by typhoon. Let's hope for the amazing birthday trip. :)

I’m also going to Japan in September for my birthday! Fingers crossed that the weather won’t ruin any plans🤞

Hello. There are tons of LCCs and flights between many Japanese cities and Korea, so it might be easier to find flights between the two countries and fly back to either Japan or Korea. That way you can find the most reasonable flights between your country to either Seoul or Tokyo/Osaka etc. For accommodations, it relly depens on your favor, so you might want to put date and location on Google and find the cheapest sites. Usually weather is nicer in October and November as typhoon might come in September to Japan. But it changes every year.

@@tokyokenchan Thank you for your response. How is the weather in September/November? Warm? Does it rain a lot? Cloudy? Please let me know. Thank you sir!

Usually rainy season finish around mid-July, so let's hope that only the thing you need to handle is Japan's humidity. ^^

@@tokyokenchan thanks. I need all the good wishes I can get

I think so! :)

It can be hot like late summer recently.

It's late fall feeling in Toko and a nice season to visit. :)

Can be sunny or rain, but it should be hot enough to enjoy summer. :)

It's very hot

It's very hot right now, so it might not be as bad as now. Still, it can be very hot. :)

thank you :) also are there ubers around the fujiyoshida? we are planning to climb mount fuji and a little intimidated by the trip we need to take to get from our hotel to fifth station to begin our climb - we want to start around 6am @@tokyokenchan

Sounds great that you are visiting Japan during your birthday. The week of Aug 12 is in the middle of Obon, so the Shinkansen or airplanes can be busy or even difficult to get seat. But if you are only staying in a big city, it might not be a big difference. Just be careful for the heat and humidity. 👍

@@tokyokenchan I want to experience summer in Japan. I’m a backpacker so most likely I will stay in Tokyo only. Can’t wait 😊

I like summer too. Something special about it. :)

@@tokyokenchanhow’s early april ?

@@EE-ie9gm Early April, you still see cherry blossom in some area, so it's a good season. Still a bit chilly, but light green starts to cover the city. :)

I think so. You can enjoy the start of winter. Nice weather to walk around Tokyo. :)

@@tokyokenchan ty for the reply 👍
