May and June are the seasons when wisteria and hydrangeas bloom in Japan, and the rapeseed flower fields in Hokkaido 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, featuring breathtaking snow walls. The pink shibazakura flowers at the foot of Mount Fuji also make a lovely appearance. With the yen currently lower, now is a great time to visit Japan, admire the most beautiful seasonal sights, and satisfy your shopping desires.
