September in Japan is a month of transition: the summer heat sáadoucit, typhoons are scarce, and the landscapes begin to take the shades of autumn. This is the perfect time to enjoy festivals, hikes and cultural discoveries before the high season. In this newsletter, we share our tips to enjoy September, a handy tip to travel light and fresh, and our favourites to explore Japan.
Evasions Rebelles in exploration mode
This month, we plan two to three weeks of well-deserved vacation! If everything goes as planned, we will visit the prefecture of Chiba and the surroundings of Fukui, where we will find a French friend passionate about dinosaurs and active in tourism. These getaways feed our inspiration for future journey logs, and allow us to find authentic experiences to share with you. September is perfect for combining relaxation and discoveries off the beaten track.

Japan in September: soft light and open horizons
The Japanese re-entry takes place in a quieter and brighter atmosphere. Here are our tips to take full advantage of this month:
- Start observing the first signs of autumn in parks and mountains.
- The end-of-summer festivals and the local matsuri continue to keep pace with cities and villages.
- Enjoy the still mild sunrises and sunsets for memorable photos.
- Seasonal dishes: sweet potatoes, mushrooms, eggplants and first harvests of new rice.
The trick of Evasions Rebelles: Optimizing your journeys
In September, alternating between cities and nature makes it possible to make the most of the soft air. To travel calmly:
- Focus on regional trains and local passes rather than increasing shinkansen.
- Light travel: flexible clothing, compact umbrella for rain, reusable gourd.
- Departure early in the morning to enjoy the sites before the groups of tourists.
- Find stations and stops with air conditioning or rest points for your breaks.
What to do in Japan in September?
September is ideal for a more quiet Japan, rich in varied experiences:
- Explore Chiba, its unseen beaches and temples, and discover its unspoilt nature.
- Visit Fukui and its paleontological sites if you like dinosaurs, in connection with our local friend.
- Walk around the towns and villages by the sea or in the mountains to enjoy the nascent colors.
- Participate in the last summer matsuri and discover more intimate cultural events.
- Take the time to stroll through cafes, museums and gardens, with a softer light and a rested atmosphere.
