I'm planning a trip to Japan. What's the best time to visit?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The best time to visit Japan is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), when the weather is mild and comfortable.<|im_end|>

That sounds great. I've heard about the Cherry Blossom Festival. What's it like?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The Cherry Blossom Festival (Hanami) is a beautiful event where people gather to admire the blooming cherry blossoms. It's a lively and festive atmosphere with food, drinks, and traditional performances.<|im_end|>

That sounds amazing. Are there any other festivals I shouldn't miss?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, the Golden Week (late April to early May) is a week-long holiday with many festivals and events, and the Star Festival (Tanabata) in July is a magical celebration with lanterns and wishes.<|im_end|>
