times to visit

Insights you need to know

Best times

May

Temperatures are mild. Flowers and tree greenery are in their full glory.

October

Tree leaves turn blazing reds, oranges and yellows. This creates Japan's world famous autumn foliage.

Least desiraable times

December to March

It's cold (but rarely frigid). And the beauty of flowering plants and other greenery is gone.

June to August

High heat and humidity reign along with rain and tourist hordes. Early June is the most desirable time of this period while August is the least desirable.

Cherry blossom

Unless you are traveling to Tokyo mainly to see the cherry blossoming, consider forgetting about viewing this treat of nature and rescheduling your trip.

Reason: Cherry blossoming in Tokyo occurs sometime in the period spanning the last week of March and the first week of April. And it lasts just a few days. And you cannot accurately predict the exact days.

Even if you are lucky to hit the sweet spot, the other deciduous trees will look relatively bare because their leaves are in their early stage of growth.

Moreover, the temperatures in Tokyo at that time of year are usually cold.
