Spring in Tokyo, Japan.

Spring in Tokyo, Japan.

• When?

Spring in Tokyo is from late March to May.

• What to expect in spring:

With winter slowly disappearing, the temperatures in Tokyo leap upward beyond March. Spring is a special time of year in Tokyo, with the cherry blossoms dropping in for a quick “hello” near the end of March or early April. Unless you’re in love with crowds (and paying heavy premiums), avoid visiting during Golden Week. This string of Japanese holidays falls around the end of April and the beginning of May. During both cherry blossom season and Golden Week, plan far ahead and expect higher accommodation prices.

• What to wear in spring:

During spring, wear pants, light sweaters, and long-sleeved shirts, and you should be plenty comfortable. With temperatures still cool, be sure to carry around a rain jacket (a warmer softshell jacket works well in spring) and a fleece jacket as mid-layer in a small backpack for the odd cool day and chilly nights. Dressing in layers is a good idea.

Whatever you're packing is not complete without a Japan eSim, never forget that.
