Seasons of Colour, Moments of Wonder

Escape the cherry blossom crowds and snow-covered slopes—Japan in summer is a vibrant, sun-drenched celebration of nature, culture, and tradition. From neon-lit festivals to tranquil mountain trails and tropical island beaches, summer reveals a different side of Japan—lively, lush, and waiting to be explored.

Top Destinations to visit


Kyoto

In summer, Kyoto comes alive with deep green gardens and centuries-old traditions. Wander through the cool shade of Arashiyama’s Bamboo Forest, marvel at the golden reflection of Kinkaku-ji, and don’t miss Gion Matsuri in July—one of Japan’s most iconic summer festivals, filled with ornate floats and street celebrations.

Hokkaido

Japan’s northern gem is a summer paradise. Lavender fields bloom across Furano, hiking trails open through Daisetsuzan National Park, and the Sapporo Summer Festival brings the city to life with beer gardens and fireworks. The cooler climate makes it perfect for outdoor escapes.

Nikko

Surrounded by lush forests and misty waterfalls, Nikko is pure summer magic. Hike along Lake Chuzenji and Kegon Falls, or wander the grounds of the stunning Toshogu Shrine. Nature thrives here in the warmer months—fresh, green, and gloriously crowd-free.

 

Aomori

Summer in Aomori is bold and unforgettable. Explore the emerald trails of Oirase Gorge, cool off by Lake Towada, and experience the spectacular Nebuta Festival in August—a dazzling display of illuminated floats, drumming, and dance that lights up the streets with energy and tradition.

Okinawa

Sunseekers, this one’s for you. From snorkeling coral reefs in Ishigaki to unwinding on white-sand beaches, Okinawa is Japan’s tropical escape. Discover local culture at the Eisa Dance Festival, and soak up the sunshine in a world that feels worlds away from mainland Japan.

Nagano

Summer in Nagano means fresh mountain air and serene alpine landscapes. Hike the breathtaking Kamikochi Valley, dip into historic hot spring towns like Shibu Onsen, and spot wild monkeys cooling off at Jigokudani Snow Monkey Park—yes, even in summer.
