Is it safe to travel to Japan in late August?

Question:

I m planning on going to japan btw late august and early September, is this time of year safe?

Answer:

Yes, it is safe now!! The majority of Japan is back to normal and operating as usual. All international airports are operating and this even includes Sendai Airport, which was damaged by the tsunami, and the bullet trains are all running as normal. The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs Travel Advisory has even been lowered to normal so should have no problems.

Late August / Early September is a nice time as the hot summer starts to cool down and the temperatures become more bearable in September with cooler mornings and nights. September tends to be the typhoon season in Japan so expect a lot of rain at times.
