Compared to 2015, the yen has been steadily rebounding. It once dropped back to around 0.277 in February, but then began climbing again. Especially during cherry blossom season, it reached a peak of approximately 0.3017. Recently, it has started to weaken again, falling to around 0.29. Travelers planning a trip to Japan soon should pay attention to exchange rate trends and prepare to exchange yen in advance.

May and June are the seasons when wisteria and hydrangeas bloom in Japan, and Hokkaido’s rapeseed flower fields are also stunningly beautiful — perfect for enjoying the early summer scenery. Tokyo Skytree will also be celebrating its third anniversary. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route opens for the season, and its spectacular snow walls are a must-see. The shibazakura (moss phlox) season at the foot of Mt. Fuji also kicks off in soft pink hues. With the yen on the decline, now is a great time to visit Japan, enjoy the most beautiful seasonal sights, and satisfy your shopping desires.
