🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect pleasant daytime temperatures around +20°C to +23°C, perfect for strolling through Odori Park. However, as the sun sets at 18:07, the air turns crisp (+13°C), so a light jacket or stylish trench coat is essential for your evening at Mt. Moiwa. The city is lush and green, providing a vibrant backdrop for photos before the autumn colors arrive in October.
