Tokyo : When should you leave?
Four main seasons punctuate the climate in Tokyo and Kyoto. Winter is cold and sometimes snowy, although snow is becoming scarcer. July and August are very hot and humid. They are announced by a rainy season in June and end with a typhoon season in September. If it is in spring and autumn that the weather is most pleasant, the two cities can be visited without moderation all year round for the clear winter skies and summer festivals.
Tokyo has a humid subtropical climate. The city enjoys relatively mild winters, with little or no snow (5/6°C in January and February). But summers are hot (often over 32°C) and especially very humid. Spring and autumn combine the best weather conditions with pleasant temperatures and are the tourist high season. The rest of the year corresponds globally to the low tourist season.
As in all major capitals, stays in Tokyo can be planned throughout the year. However, spring and autumn are the high tourist seasons during which hotel rates are highest. Since accommodation is the most important budgetary expenditure in Japan, it may be interesting to go out of season. To avoid the highest crowds and pay less, the best period is late November-early December, late February-early March, or late May and June, the low tourist season in Japan. Note that if you go to Japan in the spring, you will have the pleasure of attending Hanami, the festival that celebrates cherry blossoms. The spectacle of this flowering will enchant you!

Tokyo : Discover
We all have echoes of Japan, through words like manga, geisha, sushi, zen or karate, which have been exported around the world and sketch the first images of a fantasized Japan. A visit to Tokyo means discovering all the worlds that lie behind these terms, grasping the thousand and one forms that Japanese society takes beyond all our preconceived ideas, and, perhaps, getting carried away in a whirlwind of new things. Closely linked to Buddhism and neighboring China, the history of the archipelago, which was relatively closed to foreign influences for almost 300 years, has led to the emergence of a culture apart, whether artistic, culinary or social. Japanese concepts such as wabi-sabi and Zen never cease to question and fascinate. A trip to Japan is the perfect opportunity to grasp a little of this culture, and here we give you a few keys.
