The last month of spring brings pleasant weather, colourful floral displays across the country and the last of the sakura blooms in Tohoku and Hokkaido. It’s a great time for outdoor adventures before the warmer months arrive, and alpine attractions that were closed over winter continue to open up.  

As we continue to dream for a bit longer, Japan continues to work towards a further relaxation of the borders. We will provide further updates when more details are available. In the meantime, we will continue to bring you travel inspiration and updates and look forward to welcoming you to Japan when the time is right.

This month’s newsletter highlights include an update on the much-anticipated Ghibli Park, a look at an intriguing natural phenomenon found on the north coast of Hyogo Prefecture and an exploration of some of Tokyo’s eclectic neighbourhoods.
