When is the best time to visit Japan? (Season or month wise) First and foremost, I realise that this is an extremely vague question, because well- I've heard that apparently Japanese weather depends on the area you are in. I'd like to know my safest bet for travelling to Japan though :-) I'm thinking that, in the near future, I would probably visit Japan around early November or December to January or all the way to February. It would be snowing then, wouldn't it? While I'm at it, I'd really like to take the opportunity to bath in a random traditional Japanese hotel's hot spring baths with snow monkeys. Would anyone happen to know where I'd be able to do that? (hohohohoho) Just look at these cute little munchkins! https://www.google.com.au/search?q=japanese%20snow%20monkeys%20in%20hot%20springs&rlz=1C1CHMO_enAU514AU514&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=SWAnUqySC4i3iQeZ7oHIDw&biw=1366&bih=643&sei=2mAnUv6tLYKGkAWni4HIDA
