Month-by-month: which is better?
Pick Japan 🇯🇵 if you're going in…
March, April, September, October
Book sakura-week accommodation in Kyoto 6+ months ahead — and budget for ~2x normal rates. If you miss the cherry blossom window, head to Hokkaido in early May where the sakura peaks 4–5 weeks later.
Pick Norway 🇳🇴 if you're going in…
May, June, July, August
The northern lights need clear, dark, cold skies — March is statistically the best month in Tromsø.
Months where both are equally good: January, February, November, December.
