All Months
Cherry blossom season (late March to early May) brings crowds and inflated prices. But hanami parties in Ueno Park are worth the chaos. Book hotels months ahead. Autumn (October-November) offers perfect weather and stunning fall colors. Hotel prices drop after summer, making it the sweet spot for budget travelers. Winter means fewer tourists and cheaper flights. Tokyo rarely gets snow, but it's cold enough for hot springs day trips. Summer is brutal – 35°C with crushing humidity. Air conditioning bills spike hotel costs, and you'll sweat through clothes in minutes. Golden Week (late April-early May) sees domestic tourism explode. Avoid unless you enjoy hour-long lines for everything. Rainy season hits June-July. Pack an umbrella and waterproof shoes. The upside? Hotels offer deals and attractions are less crowded.
