Hey everyone! Solo Indian traveller here, planning my first Japan trip. Dates are May 29 to June 13 (16 days), flying in from Mumbai.

I've done a lot of research but would love to hear from people who've actually been during this window — especially late May into early June.

On the weather:
- How bad is the humidity really in early June? (Coming from Mumbai so I'm used to it, but still want to know what to expect as don’t want to be in a hot & humid weather on a vacation )
- Late May feels fine based on what I've read — did it actually feel comfortable for walking all day?

My current plan is the classic Golden Route: Tokyo (5 nights) → Hakone (2 nights) → Kyoto (4 nights) → Osaka (1-2 nights)- Hokkaido.

Deos this seem fine or should i drop something/recalibrate the days per place? Don’t want to be rushing around trying to see everything as I’m sure this won’t be my only trip to this amazing country.

Has anyone done Hokkaido in early June specifically? Was it worth the extra flights vs just completing the Golden Route? And did the weather in Hokkaido genuinely feel different from Tokyo/Kyoto?

Any real experiences or advice appreciated - especially from fellow Indians who've done this window! 🙏
