FAQ
Are waterproof shoes necessary in Tokyo in March?
Probably worth it — about 9 rainy days on average. Water-resistant will do; full waterproof is overkill.
Do I need boots in Tokyo in March?
A light boot is worth it for evenings, when temps drop to about 39°F. A sturdy sneaker also works.
Can I wear sandals in Tokyo in March?
Not really — highs around 57°F are too cool for open shoes on most days.
Can I get by with one pair of shoes in Tokyo in March?
Two pairs is safer — wet cold months punish a single pair. Pack a weather-ready primary and a dry backup.
What about dressy dinners in Tokyo?
Most cities accept clean sneakers or light boots for smart-casual dinners. If you have a black-tie night, pack one dress shoe and wear your walking pair on the plane.
Any tips for packing shoes for Tokyo?
Wear the bulkiest pair on the plane, stuff socks into the packed pair, and use a shoe bag so damp soles do not ruin clothes. Pack a thin spare pair of socks for rainy days.
Any local footwear norms in Tokyo?
Be ready to remove shoes at some temples, ryokan, and homes.
