🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: June in Tokyo marks the "Tsuyu" (rainy season). Expect humid air (feeling like 32°C+) and frequent misty drizzles or sudden downpours. Gear: Pack a light, breathable waterproof shell and buy a "vinyl umbrella" at any 7-Eleven. Strategy: Use the extensive underground passages in Shinjuku and Ginza to stay dry. The rain actually enhances the neon reflections in Kabukicho and the vibrant greens of the shrines.
