Tokyo - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Like I said, four seasons with extremely HOT, humid, and rainy summers that are only getting worse. It can snow in the winter in Tokyo city, but generally winters are more bearable than Europe or for example the Northeastern U.S. (Winters can be cold, but sunny. It does rain a lot in Japan, but lots of blue sky after the rain.) - May 2025
