Japan\u2019s summer season kicks off with a rainy period known as tsuyu<\/em>, which lasts approximately the entire month of June. After that, the heat and humidity set in and take up permanent residence until the end of August or September. The one benefit of this is that these months are considered off-peak for those looking to rent an apartment so if that\u2019s something that needs to be ticked off your checklist, consider checking out Village House<\/a> \u2013 a real estate organization with over 1,000 properties across Japan\u2019s 47 prefectures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In summer, Hokkaido boasts a plethora of nature-filled tourist attractions and activities, and in this article, we\u2019ll be taking a look at the top 5 most beautiful Hokkaido flower fields that attract visitors like flowers would bees.  <\/p>\n\n\n
