Climate and Environment

Japan has a diverse climate and environment that varies from region to region. It has four
distinct seasons’ spring, summer, fall and winter. In most years, spring is from March to May,
summer from June to August, fall from September to November and winter from December to February with a climate ranging from subarctic in the north to subtropical in the south. Conditions are different between the Pacific side and the Sea of Japan side. Northern Japan has warm summers and very cold winters with heavy snow on the Sea of Japan side and in mountainous areas.


Japan’s geographical features divide it into six principal climatic zones: Hokkaido, Sea of Japan, Pacific Ocean, Central Highland, Seto Inland Sea, and Ryukyu Islands. The northernmost zone has a humid continental climate with long, cold winters and very warm to cool summers.


Spring is one of the most popular times to visit Japan. The mild weather and wonderful array of colors from nature waking up from the long winter months attract visitors from around the world who want to see what Japan in the spring has to offer. The best time to visit Japan is between March and May and between September and November as it’s both warm and dry between these periods.


Japan experiences a diverse range of temperatures across its regions due to its varied topography. In the northernmost island of Hokkaido, winter temperatures can dip between -6°C and 1°C (21°F to 34°F), offering a snowy landscape ideal for winter sports. Summers are milder, with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Moving southward to central Japan, encompassing cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, winters are comparatively moderate with average temperatures between 5°C and 10°C (41°F to 50°F). Summers in this region bring warmer temperatures, ranging from 25°C to 30°C (77°F to 86°F). In southern Japan, including Shikoku and Kyushu, winter temperatures hover between 10°C and 15°C (50°F to 59°F), while summers are warmer, with averages ranging from 25°C to 32°C (77°F to 90°F). The country’s seasonal variations, coupled with its geographical features, contribute to a dynamic climate across its different locales.

Economy
The economy of Japan is a highly developed/advanced social market economy, often referred to as an East Asian model. It is the fourth-largest in the world by nominal GDP and also the fourth-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Japan is a member of both the G7 and G20. According to the IMF, the country’s per capita GDP (PPP) was at $52,120 (2023). Due to a volatile currency exchange rate, Japan’s GDP as measured in dollars fluctuates sharply. The Japanese economy is forecast by the Quarterly Tankan survey of business sentiment conducted by the Bank of Japan. The Nikkei 225 presents the monthly report of top blue chip equities on the Japan Exchange Group, which is the world’s fifth-largest stock exchange by market capitalization. In 2018, Japan was the world’s fourth-largest
importer and the fourth-largest exporter. It has the world’s second-largest foreign-exchange reserves, worth $1.4 trillion. It ranks 5th on the Global Competitiveness Report. It ranks first in the world in the Economic Complexity Index. Japan is also the world’s fourth-largest consumer market.
Japan is the world’s second-largest automobile manufacturing country. It is often ranked among the world’s most innovative countries, leading several measures of global patent filings. Facing increasing competition from China and South Korea, manufacturing in Japan currently focuses primarily on high-tech and precision goods, such as integrated circuits, hybrid vehicles, and robotics. Besides the Kanto region ,  the Kansai region is one of the leading industrial clusters and manufacturing centers for the Japanese economy. Japan is the world’s largest creditor nation. Japan generally runs an annual trade surplus and has a considerable net international investment surplus. Japan has the third-largest financial assets in the world, valued at $12 trillion, or 8.6% of the global GDP total as of 2020. [51][52] As of 2022, 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies are based in Japan. The country is the third largest in the world by total wealth.


Japan formerly had the second-largest assets and wealth, behind only the United States in both categories, until it was surpassed by China in both assets and wealth. Japan also had the world’s second-largest economy by nominal GDP behind the United States. In 2010, it was surpassed by China. Japan’s asset price bubble collapse in 1991 led to a period of economic stagnation known as the “lost decade”, sometimes extended to a “lost 20 years” or greater. From 1995 to 2007 GDP fell from $5.33 trillion to $5.04 trillion in nominal terms. From the early 2000s, the Bank of Japan set out to encourage economic growth through a novel policy of quantitative easing. Debt levels continued to rise in response to the national crises, such as the Great Recession in 2008, the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011, and with COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. As of 2021, Japan has significantly higher levels of public debt than any other developed nation at approximately 260% of GDP.  45% of this debt is held by the Bank of Japan. The Japanese economy faces considerable challenges posed by an aging and declining population, which peaked at 128 million in 2010 and has fallen to 125.5 million as of 2022. Projections show the population will continue to fall, potentially to below 100 million by the middle of the 21st century.
