LOOK: Snow in Japan Got Us Wishing We Were There
It's a white winter wonderland!
(SPOT.ph) Unlike the Philippines' two-season calendar, Japan has four: spring (from March to May), summer (from June to August), autumn (from September to November), and winter (from December to February). Temperature and climate vary significantly, dictating what you have to pack and wear if you plan on flying to this Asian country. But the best thing about having four seasons is the changes in color: pink-filled cherry blossoms in spring, vibrant green fields during the summer, red and orange leaves in autumn, and a blanket of white in winter.

Nagano Prefecture, which is located in the center of Japan's Honshu Island, is famous for its skiing and snowboarding activities during winter. Its mountains are dotted with ski resorts, which are often booked this time of the year. Nagano is just five hours away from Tokyo by bus.
