Motivos para viajar a Japón en primavera

¿Te gustaría viajar a Japón pero no sabes qué época es la mejor para visitar el país nipón con ayuda de los minicréditos rápidos? La estación primaveral es la mejor para conocer la isla del sol naciente, ya que, por un lado, las temperaturas a lo largo de los meses de marzo a mayo rondan desde los 13 ºC hasta los 23 ºC, por lo que te permite salir a disfrutar del aire libre nipón sin tener que pasar ni frío ni calor; por otro lado, es la estación perfecta para disfrutar de la naturaleza japonesa en su esplendor, pues te concede la oportunidad de deleitarte con el contraste entre la tecnología y la naturaleza.

Además de estos aspectos, visitar Japón en primavera es más interesante porque en esta estación hay una serie de acontecimientos que se convierten en motivos más que suficientes para decidirte a tomar un avión con destino al país japonés en estos meses:

La naturaleza en estado puro

En la estación de primavera se da uno de los eventos más bonitos que hay en Japón: el florecimiento de los cerezos en flor o sakura. La gente se reúne con los amigos y con los familiares y preparan un pícnic para estar todo el día debajo de los cerezos apreciando la efímera belleza de uno de los espectáculos de la naturaleza más bellos que se puedan ver.

También en esta época florecen varias especies de árboles frutales como los melocotoneros, los ciruelos, además de varias especies de flores como las azaleas, las algarrobas, entre otras, que se encuentran por los alrededores de los templos y de los santuarios que podrás visitar.

Festivales a gogó

Durante la estación primaveral, Japón se llena de festivales que puedes visitar. Uno de ellos es el festival de Takayama Matsuri, considerado como uno de los tres festivales más hermosos del país nipón junto con el festival Gion Matsuri y el festival Chichibu Matsuri. En primavera, el Takayama se celebra en los días 14 y 15 de abril y en él desfilan procesiones, como el desfile de Mikoshi, carrozas y marionetas llamadas Karakuri Ningyo.

Otro de los festivales que puedes disfrutar durante esta estación es el Mifune Matsuri en Arashiyama, en Kioto, que se celebra en el tercer domingo de mayo. Se trata de un festival que se hace en el río Oigawqa desde finales de los años 20 del siglo pasado, para representar unos acontecimientos que sucedieron hace 1000 años durante la era Showa.

Así que, ¿te animas a viajar a Japón en primavera? El país no te decepcionará en estos meses.

Ishikawa’s Tomobata Festival

The Tomobata Matsuri is held on the May 2–3 at Mifune Shrine in Port Ogi in Ishikawa Prefecture. In this festival, nine boats driven by local fishermen go around the bay to pray for a good catch for the year, accompanied by a larger boat carrying a mikoshi portable shrine. Each boat carries a 20-meter-high banner, a long, streaming flag symbolizing a good catch, and colorful windsocks. Fl…
