🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Conditions: Expect temperatures between +19°C and +28°C with high humidity (up to 80%). June is the Tsuyu (rainy season), meaning frequent drizzle or sudden showers are likely. Wardrobe: Lightweight, breathable fabrics (linen or tech-wear) are essential. Carry a compact umbrella and wear waterproof walking shoes. Pro-Tip: The rain makes the moss in shrines and the colors of hydrangeas ( ajisai ) pop beautifully—perfect for moody photography.
