There are four seasons in Japan, spring, summer, fall, and winter. Each season has specific sceneries and experiences to offer. For each season, there are many different ways to enjoy places in Japan and a new discovery always awaits. Let’s travel around Japan with PARAMOUNT Travelex and enjoy the different seasons!

Spring is generally from March to May in Japan.“Sakura” or cherry blossoms are a symbol of spring in Japan. Many people gather under sakura trees for “ohanami,” which means cherry blossom viewing, all over Japan.

Summer is usually from June to August.Japan is surrounded by the sea, so you can enjoy swimming in various places. You can swim in the sea near Tokyo, but remote the islands of Okinawa are also recommended to enjoy a relaxing time.

September to November is usually the fall season.The heat of summer eases, and the most comfortable and nicest weather comes in this season. The peak for leaves changing colors is from October to late November.

Winter is from December to February.It is the coldest season of the year, which is perfect for enjoying hot springs. Dipping in a hot spring while relishing in the beautiful winter scenery is exceptionally remarkable. Illumination events are held all over Japan toward the year-end.

1. Transport

Tokyo has an immense network of buses, trains, and subways. While in Tokyo, you will likely be mostly using Japan Rail (JR), and the two subway companies Tokyo Metro and Toei. Fares differ between each company so it may be easiest to buy a pass (see below) that covers both. You can walk and feel reasonably safe anywhere; however, the city is enormous, and it would be difficult to explore everything on foot as children will get tired.

But, with PARAMOUNT Travelex, you already get JR Tokyo wide pass! Worry less in Transport🫣

2. Food

“Go to the supermarket after 8pm and find 50% off bentos & sushi.” (Tetsunori, Japanese resident

I've found that this is undoubtedly a good way to save money. On the very frugal end, you have supermarket or convenience store bentos (pre-cooked boxed meals) readily available all over Tokyo for about 400-600 yen each. Not to mention the good old onigiri (rice balls). In terms of restaurants – if you’re traveling with kids,family restaurants are always convenient.

If you want somewhere slightly more upmarket, expect to pay around 1000 yen per person for a lunch set, and 1500 yen for a dinner meal. Of course, you can go much higher than that, but it’s not always necessary.

3. Money-saving tips for visiting Japan from real travelers

• If you have small kids – “Make sure to visit some indoor soft play areas - the one in the Tokyo Dome area (Asobono) was absolutely amazing.” (Kak Ni, mother of two)
• “Wear shoes that you can easily take on and off because you have to remove your shoes for everyshrine!” (Roslimin, worldwide traveller)
• “Always carry your passport to get tax free discounts while shopping.” (Syahmi) (Editors note: All foreign travelers must carry their passport with them at all times.)
• “If you want your money to go as far as possible - I'd focus on dining out during lunchtime rather than dinner. Most restaurants will do specials around lunchtime, saving you a ton of money.” (Anwar, PARAMOUNT Travelex)
