Weather and Climate in Tokyo

Is Tokyo on your travel bucket list? While the city is known for its vibrant culture and technology, it also offers unique seasonal experiences. In spring (March to May), the average temperature ranges from 10°C to 20°C, and the cherry blossoms create a picturesque backdrop for sightseeing. Autumn (September to November) is another great time to visit, with mild weather and stunning fall colours. If you're a fan of winter sports, head to the nearby mountains from December to February, when Japan’s famous powder snow makes for excellent skiing and snowboarding. Tokyo itself stays cooler during this period, with temperatures between 5°C to 10°C, but it’s the perfect time to experience both city life and the nearby slopes.
