The short answer
June is Bali's month. The dry season is settled, humidity is lower than in the shoulder months, and the island has not yet filled with July and August traffic. Rates sit a clear step below peak.
Japan is in tsuyu — the rainy season — which empties the temples and halves the rates on Honshu, while Hokkaido stays dry and cool. Thailand's green season deepens, with cheap islands and heavy afternoon rain.
The Asia cluster:
