What is the best time to travel to Japan? Without doubt, sakura season (spring).
If you are lucky enough to have a few days off this spring, seeing Japan’s cherry blossom is an opportunity not to miss. Last remaining places for spring trips to Japan. Lower prices than in summer, more pleasant temperatures and a unique natural spectacle.
With May just around the corner, we still have places on some of our trips. If you haven’t decided yet, here are three destinations with availability in May, from Southeast Asia to lesser-known Europe.
Last places for May trips in one of our small groups.
South Korea vs Japan. Distinctive cultural identity, tradition and modernity.
A different perspective on familiar Japan. A trip departing on 21 May to discover Japan at its most authentic.
Accompanied by Asaki, our Japanese guide – with impeccable Spanish and surprisingly Mediterranean sensitivity – and Ariadna as photography coordinator, we will have the opportunity to discover, understand and capture the essence of the places we visit.
Spring, the best time to travel to Japan.
The flowering of cherry trees in Japan, known as Sakura, usually occurs between late March and early April. This event varies according to the region and climatic conditions of each year. Flowering begins in the south, in places like Okinawa, and progresses northwards, reaching Hokkaido later.
People often ask us about our favourite destination or the most beautiful place we have visited. The world is vast, full of wonderful, well-known attractions, but our favourite places are those that sometimes go unnoticed. Each is special for a reason: its setting, landscapes, ethnic groups, wildlife, activities, festivals or religions. The images in this post show 15 places to visit at least once in a lifetime
Shirakawago is a beautiful village of Japan in Gifu Prefecture. It is known for its many well-preserved traditional wooden houses with steep thatched roofs. Their slope allows the winter snow to slide off without accumulating and endangering the buildings.
The recent trip to Japan taken by our colleague Àlex, one of his many visits to the Land of the Rising Sun, he brought back some impressive photographs of the Naruto whirlpools, where Japan’s Inland Sea meets the Pacific Ocean.
This curious natural phenomenon is common and regular in the Naruto Strait. Why does this happen? What causes the whirlpools?
