Based on typical June conditions in Tokyo. Weather varies year to year — check the live forecast when you're within two weeks of your trip.

June marks the arrival of the 'tsuyu,' or rainy season, in Tokyo, bringing with it high humidity, warmer temperatures, and frequent, often persistent, rainfall. The city's landscapes become a lush, deep green, and hydrangeas bloom in vibrant clusters, adding a unique beauty to the wet scenery. While the rain can be a constant presence, the city continues to thrum with life, adapting to the weather. Exploring outdoor markets like Tsukiji can be a damp experience, and sightseeing at landmarks like the Meiji Shrine requires proper rain gear. The main visitor pain point is the combination of rain and humidity, which can make you feel sticky and uncomfortable. Without a waterproof jacket and shoes, the weather can easily put a damper on your plans and make navigating the city a soggy challenge.
