🌧️ Japan's Rainy Season Doesn't Dampener the Fun 🌧️
From May to July, the rainy season sweeps across Japan, with the highest rainfall of the year. If you're planning to visit Japan in June, careful planning is essential to avoid getting soaked. To completely avoid the rain, consider traveling to Hokkaido, which is relatively unaffected by the rainy season. ⬆️ The image provides the start and end dates of the rainy season in 2023 for your reference. Travel Tips: The rainy seasons vary across Japan: Okinawa's rainy season starts in May, while the Tohoku region usually begins in mid-June. This doesn't mean it rains every day during the rainy season; it just means the chances of rain are higher. Rainy days are perfect for indoor activities like Kabuki, coffee, and gourmet dining. Hokkaido typically has much lower precipitation than other parts of Japan. Next, I recommend some great spots to enjoy hydrangeas during the rainy season, so you can still have a great time in Japan. 📍 Ohirayama (Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture) Address: Tochigi Prefecture, Tochigi City, Hirai Town, Ohirayama Blooming Period: Early June to Late June Fee: Free 📍 Kamakura Myōshin-ji (Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture) Address: 189 Yamanouchi, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture Blooming Period: Early June to Early July Fee: Adults 300 yen (500 yen for viewing fee in June, Middle and High School Students 300 yen, separate 500 yen needed for entering the Iris Garden) 📍 Yada-dera (Yamato-Koriyama City, Nara Prefecture) Address: 3549 Yada-cho, Yamato-Koriyama City, Nara Prefecture Blooming Period: Early June to Early July Fee: Adults 400 yen, Elementary School Students 200 yen 📍 Sanjuusangendo (Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture) Address: 21 Tsukamoto Shigetsu-tani, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture Blooming Period: Early June to Early July Fee: Adults 500 yen, Children 300 yen 📍 Kobe Municipal Forest Botanical Garden (Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture) Address: 1-2 Naga-no, Kamitani, Yamada-cho, Kita-ku, Kobe City Blooming Period: Late June to Late July Fee: Adults (High School Students and above) 300 yen, Children (Elementary and Middle School Students) 150 yen 🌧️ #JapanRainySeason #Japan #Travel
