When is the best time to visit Japan?

Japan does have 4 season and while anytime is a good time to visit, spring and fall are the best times. Specifically from about Mid March to Mid April, when cherry blossoms are blooming, and Early November to Early December, when the leaves turn into a parade of colors. In the spring, the cherry blossom trees bloom and capture the nations attention like nothing else. It is truly a magically time that comes and goes too quickly! Another great time great time would be around the first/second week of February for the Sapporo Snow Festival.
