🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: June in Tokyo is the heart of the Tsuyu (rainy season). Expect temperatures between +25°C and +29°C with high humidity that makes it feel like +32°C. What to wear: Light, breathable fabrics (linen or tech-wear) are essential. Gear: Carry a compact umbrella or buy a classic transparent one at any 7-Eleven. Waterproof shoes are a must for the frequent drizzles. The Silver Lining: This is the peak season for hydrangeas ( ajisai ), which look most vibrant under overcast skies—perfect for moody, professional-grade photography.
