Tokyo climate and clothing
Tokyo is characterized by hot summers and cold winters.
The average temperature from May to June is 23.5℃, making it a pleasant climate. However, it can get cold at night, so it's a good idea to bring a light hoodie or cardigan.
On the other hand, winter is characterized by cold temperatures with an average temperature of 4.9℃ to 5.2℃ from January to February. It also snows, so if you're visiting Tokyo in winter, you'll need to be adequately protected from the cold by wearing down jackets and coats.
