Traveling to Japan in May is a truly distinctive cultural and natural experience. The weather is mild and pleasant, making it ideal for exploring cities and landscapes without the intense heat of summer or the cold of winter. It is flower season, particularly for azaleas and wisteria, which fill parks and gardens with vibrant color.
Destinations such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara offer a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition, and this is an excellent time to visit temples, shrines, and castles without the large crowds typical of the cherry blossom season. In addition, May includes Golden Week, a series of national holidays during which the country comes alive with celebrations and a festive atmosphere.
