While Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara are the usual suspects for a Japanese holiday, there is a northernparadise waiting to be discovered. Hokkaido<\/b>, Japan’s northernmost island, is a world of its own\u2014offering vast wilderness, a rich cultural tapestry, and a summer climate that is, quite frankly, the best in the country.<\/p>\nThe Ultimate Climate Advantage<\/h2>\n
Forget the stifling heat and the “Tsuyu” (rainy season) of mainland Japan. From June to August<\/b>, Hokkaido remains refreshingly dry with comfortable temperatures ranging between 20\u00b0C and 25\u00b0C<\/b>. As the rest of the country swelters, Hokkaido stands as the ultimate sanctuary for those seeking a cool, breezy escape.<\/p>\n\ud83d\ude90 6 Reasons Why June – August is the Golden Season<\/b><\/h3>\n
