Best Time to Visit

If you are planning your trip and wondering what the best time to visit Nagoya may be, it is certainly 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 "mapple hunting" (momijigari) makes it a true delight to explore. Avoid June and July, which are considered to be the rainiest months, 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)
