While some Antarctic stations have a permanent crew, for most people who visit the continent, whether as workers or tourists, travel starts in southern-hemisphere spring.
In what date range would summer workers normally travel to Antarctica? (I'm specifically interested in Showa Station, but also in answers for any of the other stations.)

Exact times will vary by location and weather, but for most stations, the first flights in might be in mid- to late-October, and the last flights out in perhaps late March. Note that not all summer staff will travel down right at the start of the season - a lot of them will still be arriving into December.
Somewhere deep inland might have a somewhat shorter season - I think last flights out of Amundsen-Scott at the South Pole are usually end of February/start of March, for example.
Ship travel is a bit more unpredictable and would likely have a narrower window of start/end dates (the very last thing you want is a ship stuck at the end of the summer season).
