Hi!
August is hot and humid in most of Japan. The conditions are more comfortable in higher elevations and in Hokkaido, a highly popular destination among outdoor lovers during the summer months. Many local festivals are held in August.
The Obon week in mid August is one of Japan's three busiest travel seasons and room rates go up at many hotels. Travel activity is generally high during the whole month due to summer school holidays, which last from the end of July to the end of August.
