What to pack for Tokyo

Comfortable walking shoes, easy layers and a small rain cover are useful for city exploration.

  • Comfortable shoes suited to your plans and the forecast
  • Versatile clothing you can layer or adjust during the day
  • A small day bag for essentials and a reusable water bottle
  • Weather protection based on the forecast, not the season alone

Rainy periods and summer humidity make quick-drying fabrics handy.

Mild and changeable; layers work well.

These are general seasonal tendencies, not a live forecast. For Southern Hemisphere destinations, seasons are described by local calendar months.

Practical travel tip

Expect long days on foot and temperature changes between trains and outdoors.

Before you leave

Check the daily temperature, feels-like temperature, wind and chance of rain close to departure. A seasonal guide cannot predict the weather for your specific dates.
