Climate

Spring

Japan has four distinct seasons : spring , summer , autumn and winter. Cherry blossoms in spring and the beautiful colors of fall foliage , red, orange or bright yellow, are two of the finest performances we offer Japan. The Japanese like to follow the progression of the seasons using weather reports which indicate where the landscapes of spring and autumn are the most beautiful .

Summer

Japanese are very sensitive to the passage of the seasons . To start a conversation with someone, nothing better than talking about the weather! When meeting someone for the first time, it is difficult to talk politics , and tackle too personal subject makes uncomfortable the Japanese, who prefer to keep their distance.

Autumn

The extreme north and the extreme south of the country have very different climates. In March , for example, it is possible to bathe in the south and in the north to ski !

Winter

The country is often hit by natural disasters , typhoons, volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. Although these disasters sometimes make many victims , as was the case during the earthquake in eastern Japan in March 2011 , the Japanese have been trying for years to minimize their effects. Japan uses advanced technologies to design earthquake resistant structures and to locate storms with high accuracy .
