Now let's try the seasons...
Officially spring is during the months of March, April, and May in Japan. Summer is from June through to August. Autumn is during the months of September, October and November and winter is from December to February.
Nevertheless, it’s not uncommon to have some cold days in May when the cherry trees are in full flower or warm and humid days in October together with beautiful autumn colors.
