Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Nagoya is spring and autumn. In spring, the cherry blossoms (Sakura), make the city the perfect place for a romantic getaway. In Autumn, the main streets are all coloured in red, orange, and yellow. The 'maple hunting' (momijigari) makes it a true delight to explore. Avoid June and July, which are considered to be the rainiest months, and also notoriously hot and humid. Some interesting events throughout the year: - January: Coming of Age Day (Seijin no hi) - March: Dolls Festival (Hinamatsuri) - April: Flower viewing (Hanami) - November: Seven-five-three (Shichi go san) - October: Nagoya Festival (Nagoya Matsuri)
