Activities In Japan

Experience A Flower Festival

The cherry blossom festival is synonymous with Japan and is one of the most beautiful sights in the world. The pink flowers usually bloom between March and April, but if you can’t make it to Japan during that time, fret not, as there’s plenty of other spellbinding flower festivals throughout the year.

Toyota City marks the arrival of spring through the blooming of its weeping peach trees, while Toyama’s Tonami Park bursts to life with vibrantly-coloured tulips. Grinpa Amusement Park plants a sea of 200,000 tulips that you can admire alongside views of the wondrous Mount Fuji.

Summer is the perfect time to see the hydrangeas in bloom, especially in the Hasedera Temple of Kanagawa. At the peak of summer, you can witness the awe-inspiring Jeotsu Lotus Festival, where the flowers emerge from the pond waters. Sunflowers and sweet-smelling lavender are also staples of the Japanese summer.

Autumn welcomes the arrival of cosmos flowers, with a variety of hues painting the landscape in mid-October, before they give way to winter and a splash of colour from the native camellias in areas like Nagasaki.

Explore Japan’s Temples

Travel to Japan’s first-ever UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Horyuji Temple area. Located in the secluded Ikaruga region, you’ll be only a short distance away from Osaka. You’ll be surrounded by incredible Buddhist architecture that dates back to the sixth century and highlights Japan’s cultural and religious history. Explore some of the world’s oldest wooden buildings and structures in the intricate Horyuji and Houkiji Temples.

Attend A Traditional Tea Ceremony

Regarded as a quintessential Japanese experience, a tea ceremony should be at the top of your agenda. Kyoto, Japan’s former capital, is still known as a centre for traditional culture and is a great place to experience this one-of-a-kind event, where you’ll be served locally-grown tea and small cakes.
