Japan has always been one of the top choices for Taiwanese travelers going abroad, with over 2.1 million Taiwanese visitors traveling to Japan last year. In recent years, the increase in direct flights between Taiwan and Japan, along with the rise of low-cost carriers, has made travel to Japan increasingly popular. The well-known booking website Agoda.com is now offering discounts of up to 45% off. If you haven’t yet decided where to go for a mid-year relaxing trip during early summer or the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, why not head to Japan for some shopping, join local festivals and celebrations, or slow down and enjoy the blooming beauty of roses and hydrangeas?

If you didn’t get the chance to witness Japan’s world-famous cherry blossom season in Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka in March or April, take advantage of this offer and use a few vacation days to fly to the higher-latitude Hokkaido and catch the tail end of the cherry blossoms in early May. As the season gradually transitions into summer, you might consider heading to Okinawa, known as the Hawaii of Japan, to fully embrace the blue waters and sandy beaches for a laid-back island getaway.
