Adapting to the climate in Japan

Hi Priscilla,

Japan has a really nice climate with four seasons much like in the west. You can expect to see snow in the winter and very hot temperatures in the summer, with very pleasant temperatures for most of the year.

However, due to the large variance in Latitude between the different islands that make up Japan, you will see more snow in the north where you can practice winter sports, while in places like Okinawa in the south the climate is subtropical and somewhat humid.

Expats moving to Japan from places like Europe or North America can expect a similar type of climate to which they are used to. And those expats from hotter countries will have the opportunity to experience the four seasons, especially snow and autumn.

Yes, Japan has four seasons, which apart from summer I enjoy. But summer, like at the moment, is very hot and humid which is somewhat uncomfortable, especially when one is walking outside. But, as mentioned I enjoy the other seasons, especially Spring with beautiful cherry blossom. In winter it snows, which makes the surronding mountains look beautiful. Autumn has beautiful colours. Anayway, generally Japan is a good place seasonal wise. Although, there is heavy rain at times causing flooding and housing damage in some places. Also earthquakes here and there. But must look on the brightr side.

Yes I agree. Spring and autumn are the best seasons in Japan.
