How people dress in Tokyo
- June to September is hot and humid, with highs of 26–31 °C, so breathable, quick-drying fabrics are the norm.
- The rainy season in June and July and typhoons from August to October bring heavy rain, so a sturdy folding umbrella is essential.
- Winters are dry and mostly sunny, with mornings around 0–3 °C, so a warm coat over layers is enough and snow gear is rarely needed.
- Shoes come off at the entrance of homes, ryokan and many traditional restaurants and temple halls, so slip-on shoes and clean, hole-free socks are practical.
- Trains and shops are air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter, so a thin layer you can easily remove helps.
