Summer Departures

Experience Japan in all seasons

Celebrating 25 Years of tour excellence
From June to August, Japan’s summer months come alive with a dazzling display of fireworks, centuries-old festivals like the Kvoto Matsuri (which dates back to the 9th century), and celebrations that offer a true glimpse into the country’s rich culture.
 
The humid yet refreshing rainy season (tsuyu) from June to mid-July sees the spring crowds thin out, leaving the cities and attractions quieter—creating the perfect time to explore without the usual bustle.

No matter when you're travelling, there’s a chance you will encounter one of Japan's captivating regional festivals. One such festival is Obon, also known as the Festival of Souls—a colourful spectacle held in August, where parades of musicians and dancers fill the streets as locals return home to spend time with their families.
 
As the summer progresses, it's a great time to explore Japan's serene traditional gardens and lose yourself in the lush, vibrant greens of the countryside. And don’t forget to cool off with a refreshing kakigori—Japan’s iconic shaved ice topped with everything from sweet syrups to fruit—the perfect summer treat!
