Hello everyone!

Do you know about the four seasons in Japan?

The four seasons in Japan have their own meaning and are different from those in other countries.

We would like you to get to know the four seasons unique to Japan and introduce them in this article. 

Please consider moving or travelling to Japan at the right time of year.

Japan's four seasons - Autumn
Autumn in Japan is from September to November. The sun eases and the number of days with mild weather increases, allowing you to enjoy outdoor sports and leisure activities. This is the time of year when flowers such as chrysanthemums and cosmos bloom and delicious foods such as grapes and pears are abundant.


Autumn features

The temperatures vary less than in spring, making it a more pleasant time of year.

Autumn is the season for autumn leaf colour, when the leaves of deciduous trees turn red and yellow.

There are many places famous for their autumn foliage throughout Japan.

Typical flowers
Chrysanthemums, cosmos

As autumn approaches, the humidity drops and the weather turns fresh and pleasant. Although typhoons sometimes approach, it is basically a pleasant season with many sunny days. It becomes easier to be active outdoors and enjoy leisure activities such as sports, hiking and camping.

However, after the autumnal equinox, usually around 23 September, the temperature difference between morning and evening and during the day becomes more extreme, so you need to be careful when choosing your clothing. Prepare a parka or jacket and wear it according to the temperature.

Autumn attractions
Autumn is the season when many foods are in season. Seafood such as saury, salmon, oysters and bonito become tasty. As for land-based foods, chestnuts, sweet potatoes and pumpkins are in season. Putting sweet chestnuts, sweet potatoes and pumpkins in your mouth will make you feel autumn. It's also fun to take part in taste-picking activities organised by tourist farms and pick pears, grapes, mushrooms and other delicacies.

Autumn events
Autumn leaf peeping is a typical autumn event. Autumn leaf peeping means admiring the deciduous broad-leaved trees that change colour in autumn, such as maples and ginkgo trees. The leaves of trees such as the Iroha maple, the toe maple and the Someiyoshino turn red, while those of ginkgo and poplar trees turn yellow. Autumn leaf colour can be seen in some parts of the world, but seldom is there a country where the colours of the leaves are as varied and vivid as in Japan.

Famous shrines and temples in Japan are also famous for their autumn foliage, and if you go there in autumn you can enjoy the collaboration between the buildings and the brightly coloured leaves.


It is interesting to know about the four seasons in Japan.

We hope that more foreigners will learn more about what makes Japan unique.

Look forward to seeing you next week!
