What people love about Japan Tours in April
Osaka was amazing but the climate stunned the cherry blossoms. In Nara and Nagoya we saw a few blossoms. We saw the beauty of Japan in the mountains and surrounding areas. Our tour guide Yusuke gave us insight about the Japanese culture and how the culture changes to evolve around the wonderful people of Japan and trends they create. Once we got to Tokyo the blooms were everywhere we added places accent this event that made the daily Tokyo tour worth while. You will enjoy this tour and don't miss any extra tours.
9 Days Splendid Japan Deluxe with Nagoya(4 star hotels)
- Discover Japan
The guide, the itinerary, and the accomodation were outstanding. We were fortunate to visit at the best time of year just before the major annual holiday period.
- 14 Days Japan Panoramic
This is the first time we have used Tourradar and Stunning Tours. The overall experience was very pleasant. We received a confirmation message once the payment was made and Peter from Stunning Tours greeted us and sent travel tips in 10 minutes. Every time we had a question Peter was able to reply us in 30 minutes. Excellent customer services! The actual tour was delightful. The tour guide had some accent but tried her best to help the whole group. The bus driver gave a smooth and comfortable ride. All of the accommodations were comfortable with good locations for us to walk around. It was a long tour and we enjoyed every minute of it. Japan is a wonderful country and we are so glad we did this tour.
What our customers ask about Japan Tours in April 2026
What is the weather like in Japan during April?
Japan's April weather brings mild conditions across the country with temperatures between 10-20°C (50-68°F). Major cities like Tokyo and Osaka stay comfortable around 15-19°C during the day while northern regions like Kanazawa keep cooler temperatures. The weather makes it ideal for experiencing cherry blossom season at spots like Maruyama Park in Kyoto or along Tokyo's Sumida River where TourRadar travelers note "the cherry blossom viewing was absolutely breathtaking."
What are the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Japan during April?
Cherry blossoms create photo opportunities throughout Japan's main cities. In Tokyo visitors flock to Ueno Park and Shinjuku Gyoen while Kyoto draws crowds to the Philosopher's Path Maruyama Park and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Osaka Castle provides another notable viewing spot. Hotels like the Kyoto Granvia offer special sakura packages for travelers. As one TourRadar guest shared: "Visiting Kyoto's temples during sakura season was absolutely magical - the combination of ancient architecture and pink blossoms created unforgettable views."
What festivals and events happen in Japan during April?
The spring festival calendar fills quickly in April. The Takayama Spring Festival brings traditional floats and performances to Gifu Prefecture while the Kamakura Festival celebrates samurai heritage through horseback archery. In Tokyo the Bunkyo Azalea Festival displays over 3,000 blooming bushes at Nezu Shrine. According to a TourRadar review: "The spring festivals we experienced in April were incredible - from traditional performances to food stalls it gave us great insight into Japanese culture."
How crowded are major tourist sites in Japan during April?
April draws peak crowds to Japan's most popular attractions. Sites like Kyoto's Fushimi Inari Shrine and Tokyo's Sensoji Temple see their highest visitor numbers during cherry blossom season. TourRadar travelers suggest "visiting temples early morning or evening to avoid the biggest crowds." Hotels like the Kyoto Granvia provide convenient access to main sites while offering some distance from the busiest areas.
What are the best day trips to take from Tokyo in April?
Day trips from Tokyo open up spring experiences beyond the city. Hakone offers Mt. Fuji views with cherry blossoms while Kamakura combines its Giant Buddha with seasonal flowers. Nikko's historic shrines draw visitors seeking cultural sites. TourRadar travelers highlight "the Hakone area for its perfect combination of mountain views and spring colors." Many tour packages include stays at local accommodations like the Hakone Guesthouse Tsuruya.
