Best: Apr, Nov · Great: Feb-Mar, Dec · Apr for Cherry Blossom Season (Hanami)
The year swings from a cold January to a hot, humid July, with rainfall concentrated around June — usually the least comfortable stretch of the year. In November, expect highs around 19°C with rain on roughly 8 days of the month.
Cherry Blossom Season (Hanami) (April) — Peak sakura bloom draws parks and riversides into a pink haze, usually late March into early April.
Wander between old and new — the temples and narrow lanes of Asakusa, then the neon sprawl of Shibuya and Shinjuku at night. The Tsukiji Outer Market is still excellent for breakfast sushi even after the main wholesale market moved. Autumn brings koyo (leaf-viewing) in parks like Rikugien and day trips to Nikko, while a cherry blossom season visit is worth building a whole itinerary around, from Ueno Park to the Meguro River. A day trip to Kamakura's Great Buddha or Hakone's hot springs and Mt. Fuji views are both easily reached by train.
Try sushi, ramen, and izakaya small plates across Tokyo's countless neighborhoods, alongside sake or Japanese whisky — both have earned serious international recognition in recent decades.
