4. WEATHER
Tokyo, like most regions in Japan, experiences a humid subtropical climate with
hot and humid summers and mild winters with cool spells.
During the summer months, Tokyo is incredibly humid and has average highs of
29°C. May until September is also considered rainy season with a great level of
rainfall experience and often typhoons. June is the wettest month when Tokyo
receives more than 200mm of rainfall.
Winter temperature falls and January is the coldest month of the year with an
average low temperature of 2°C. The winter months can experience snow, with
January and February getting more than 5cm of snowfall. However as the season
moves on, the snow disappears and tourists arrive in their numbers once again.
5. CLOTHING
People from Tokyo are very experimental with their fashion and it could be an
opportunity to reinvent yourself and your wardrobe.
Casual clothes are perfectly acceptable in Tokyo for sightseeing but the Japanese
enjoy dressing up. If you want to fit in with the crowd at restaurants, jeans and
shorts should be replaced for slightly formal evening wear.
Remember to pack a pair of shoes that can easily be slipped off since it is
Japanese culture to not wear shoes indoors, so you might have to take them off
regularly.
6. IDEAL FOR…?
Tokyo is great holiday for many different types of travellers. With the abundance
of cultural and historical attractions it is the ideal first destination in Japan for new
visitors.
It has a great balance between the ancient temples and big city lifestyle, so
people can learn about the city’s history while being very much involved in Tokyo
today.
It is a great place to visit for people who are adventurous with their fashion and
food, as both scenes are massive in the Japanese city.
