The rainy season usually starts at the beginning of June and ends around the 3rd week of July, although some years it doesn’t end until early August. When asked about advice I tend to say that this is not a good time to travel to Japan. It rains virtually every day, although the rain is not very intense. It feels as if it was drizzling all day and being very hot at the same time. It is somewhat uncomfortable to travel but if you look on the bright side of it, the mystic atmosphere created by the rain adds a unique special touch to every experience. The rainy season is one of my favorite seasons to take photos!
