Best time to visit Tokyo

When to go to Tokyo

Tokyo has four real seasons, and two of them are spectacular. Cherry blossom in late March and early April is the postcard week everyone fights for. Autumn colors in November are quieter, cheaper, and arguably more beautiful. Avoid August at all costs.

Tips for Tokyo

• Sakura peak shifts year to year. Track the JMA bloom forecast starting in January.
• June rains (tsuyu) are real. Pack waterproof shoes, not boots.
• August humidity often hits 80% with temperatures around 32°C. Plus typhoons. Just skip it.
