The most recommended month is "September"

September is the most ideal time to travel to Indonesia. It is in the middle of the dry season, with the least amount of rainfall and sunny days. Especially in resort areas such as Bali and Lombok, you can fully enjoy the blue sea and white sand beaches. It is also ideal for marine sports such as diving and snorkeling, and the visibility underwater is good. The temperature is around 30 degrees and the humidity is low, making it more comfortable than the summer in Japan. It is also right after the peak season in July and August, when the number of tourists decreases slightly and hotel prices begin to drop. For travelers looking for a cultural experience, September is the time when many traditional festivals and events are held. It can be said to be the golden season for traveling to Indonesia, with the best balance of weather, price, and crowds.

The least recommended month is "June"

June is the month to avoid the most when traveling to Indonesia. In the middle of the rainy season, heavy rains hit almost every day. It is not uncommon for it to rain all day, especially in Java and Sumatra. Humidity is often over 90%, and the humidity is very severe. Transportation is also prone to delays, so there is a high possibility that sightseeing plans will be significantly disrupted. The sea is also prone to roughness, and there are many cases where activities such as diving and island hopping are canceled. In addition, there is a mass outbreak of mosquitoes, which is unique to the rainy season, and the risk of infectious diseases such as dengue fever increases. Facilities in tourist areas are also deserted, and the service level may be reduced due to the small number of staff. In terms of weather, health, and comfort, it can be said that this is an unsuitable time for travel.
