This year, Japan entered rainy season earlier than normal year or last year.
This does not always mean “then it will end earlier”, but at least we can guess.
Please refer the comparison table about entering and ending of rainy season around Kinki region below.
It might be a help for foreign tourist when planning Kumano Kodo hiking.
Again, please note that this table does not ensure anything about rainy season of 2023.
