1. Overview Japan is renowned for its distinct four seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter), each offering dramatic shifts in landscape, cuisine, festivals, and daily life. Due to its elongated geography (from subarctic Hokkaido in the north to subtropical Okinawa in the south), seasonal timing varies by up to 4–6 weeks between regions. This report provides a month-by-month breakdown, followed by cross-seasonal themes. 2. Spring (March – May) Spring is Japan’s most iconic season, associated with renewal, hanami (cherry blossom viewing), and mild weather. | Month | Avg
