Weather in Japan

Japan is almost in a humid subtropical climate zone where has hot, humid summers and mild to cool winters. Japan is a long country from north to south, so we have many climates.

My country has four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter. There are flowers for all four seasons, so we can enjoy changing seasons. My favorite season is spring because it is warm and temperate season and we can see many cherry blossoms in Japan. I feel comfortable in the early spring when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Japan has extreme weather, a typhoon and a rainy season. Typhoons come to Japan mainly in September with rain storms. Typhoons cause floods and cliff failures. The rainy season in Japan, called Tsuyu, continues throughout June to mid-July. It is rainy and humid everyday.

From my point of view, Hokkaido is the best weather because Hakkaido is lightly affected by typhoons and the rainy season. Though Hokkaido is cold in winter, I think Hokkaido is the best weather except winter. And Toyama is the worst weather in Japan because it has very hot and humid summers caused by hot winds called foefn from the mountains, and then it has heavy snow in winter.
