The best season to visit Japan is the spring: the weather is glorious and the cherry trees are in blossom. You can also go in the autumn when the colours are just as beautiful. But is it always better to go mid-season to explore the country. In fact, winter can be very cold, whilst summer is often very hot with heavy rain.
This was one of the most amazing trips I ever had and I have been traveling all over the world. Both guides we had were great, informative, and very friendly. The accommodations were excellent especially the hotel by Mt. Fuji. And the train/bus/shikasen tickets being arranged by the company made our trip much smoother and more enjoyable. I have already recommended evaneos in a travel group I am currently in that has over 200,000 people in it. Michihiro Shikatake was the agent in charge of our trip and he did an excellent job. I am a nervous traveler with many concerns and he always quickly answered me back and was very helpful :)
