Japan's Prettiest Prefectures: Japanese People Rank Their Favorite ...

When to go to japan
            Japan, while not especially large, is surprisingly vast. Frigid winters in Hokkaido make the subtropical islands of Okinawa seems worlds away.

Spring & Autumn Season
            In this seasons travelers can find vivid autumnal leaves or, on the other hand, the iconic cherry blossoms that seem straight out of a postcard. Plus, during these seasons, rainfall is at a low, skies are clear, and temperatures are rather mild. Spring happen at March to May while Autumn happen at September to November.

Winter Season
            If you are traveling to hit the skip slops then this season is the best time for you to go. winter in Japan is a time for snow sports and onsen hopping. The northernmost prefecture of Hokkaido is undeniably the best place to hit the slopes, but areas outside of Tokyo such as Niigata are only a Shinkansen ride away, and boast a number of great ski resorts.

Summer Season
            Summer in Japan is typically warm and humid throughout most of the country, but is also an ideal time for nature expeditions like hiking. It's also considered the season of festivals.

Cherry Blossom Season
            For travelers determined to visit Japan during cherry blossom season, the dates of bloom depend on the weather conditions each year. From late March, trees in the warmer south begin to bloom, but in northern cities like Sapporo, don’t expect to see any pink until at least May. If you are staying between the Kansai and Kanto regions, the best time to see blossoms is either the last week of March or the first week of April.

As for my opinion, the best times to visit japan is during winter because as an Indonesian I’ve never had experience of snow before. So, it would be very nice to see it while on vacation to japan.
