Japan is a dream destination for Australian travellers, offering an unforgettable mix of ancient culture, futuristic cities, stunning scenery, and world-famous cherry blossoms.
If you’re planning a 2026 adventure, here's what you need to know.
Japan has four distinct seasons, each with its own appeal. Discover our tours designed to experience Japan's seasons here.
The most popular time for tourists, spring brings mild temperatures and breathtaking cherry blossoms. It’s perfect for sightseeing, enjoying gardens, and partaking in local festivals.
Summers can be hot and humid, with occasional rainy spells. This season is great for hiking, exploring mountains, and enjoying lively summer festivals.
Famous for vibrant fall foliage, Autumn Leaves offers cooler temperatures and stunning landscapes, particularly in Kyoto and the Japanese Alps. This season is perfect for autumn leaves tours, where you can stroll through colourful gardens, visit historic temples framed by fiery red and gold leaves, and capture unforgettable seasonal scenery.
Ideal for snow lovers, winter brings ski resorts, hot springs, and festive illuminations.
Cherry blossom season is a bucket-list experience. In Japan, the bloom varies by region.
Booking your tour early is the best way to secure your spot and enjoy the magical cherry blossom season, especially for our popular 2026/27 departures.
Japan’s festivals are a highlight of any visit, offering a vibrant glimpse into the country’s culture, traditions, and seasonal celebrations. From colourful parades to ancient rituals, attending these festivals allows you to experience Japan like a local and create unforgettable memories:
