One of our recommended places to enjoy autumn is in Fukuoka. Aside from relatively lower-priced flight tickets compared to Osaka and Tokyo, the Fukuoka prefecture offers a warmer and more relaxed experience as compared to other key cities in Japan. Autumn in Japan usually starts mid-September on the island of Hokkaido and ends mid-December in the Kyushu Region.

Autumn

September to November. Simply put, autumn in Fukuoka is your best bet. These months are ideal for fall foliage viewing and other sightseeing activities. Aside from the attractions within the city, there are other locations outside the city that are good for autumn viewing spots. There are also a few tourists during these months which make it easier to explore the city and its neighboring provinces.

Winter

December to February. If you would want to experience snow, winter is also a good choice. The temperature can go as low as 5.2C on the average, but you can also expect less rain. It’s the second busiest season as many tourists flock to experience the cold holidays, but do note that Fukuoka rarely experiences snow, so don’t expect too much. The best thing about the cold weather is that you can slurp your ramen fix everyday to warm you up.

Spring

March to May. Fukuoka spring is warm and sunny. It’s the cherry blossom season, so expect the crowd, especially in various viewing spots. Cherry blossom season usually starts late March or early April. Airfares and accommodation rates are relatively higher than usual, so prepare to spend more during springtime.

Summer

June to August. Summer days are the hottest and busiest months. Students are spending their school break; therefore, you should expect to encounter more people in parks and malls. More so, prices tend to go higher during summer. You should ready your umbrella (and/or other sunscreens) to protect you from the sun. It will also get handy when the rain pours down during your visit.
