The cherry blossoms usually bloom from late March to early April, adding a beautiful touch to the landscape, especially around the streams and traditional villages. It's a lovely time for couples who enjoy scenic walks and a relaxed pace.

Autumn offers similar comfortable temperatures, usually between 15°C and 25°C, and is renowned for its spectacular autumn foliage.

Winter (December to February) brings colder temperatures, often below 5°C, and sometimes snow, which can be picturesque but might limit some outdoor activities.
