If you could only travel to Japan for a 14 day trip between June 22nd and August 16th, when would you go?

Context: my husband is a teacher & has 3 PTOs annually that can’t be attached to school breaks, so it’s the only time of year we can go, but I hear it’s a bad time to go due to rain and heat…

As early as you can. By late June tsuyu (rainy season that is most of June) should be ending and it won’t be quite as miserably hot as it is in July and August. But honestly this is the literal worst time of year to go to Japan and I would just find somewhere else to go that isn’t like going to Atlanta in summer.

It’s worse than atlanta. Seriously! I grew up in Mississippi, then lived in Japan for 3 years and now live in Atlanta and the rain/humidity/heat during that time is awful. Agree with P1 to go as early as you can.

Thank in advance you for your support.
