Best Time to Visit

Weather

Tokyo experiences four distinct seasons. Summers are hot and humid with frequent rainfall, while winters are cool and dry with occasional light snow. Spring and autumn offer the most pleasant weather, characterized by mild temperatures and clear skies, making them ideal for exploring.

Best Months

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best months to visit Kabukicho. Spring brings cherry blossoms, while autumn offers vibrant foliage, and both seasons boast comfortable temperatures perfect for exploring the bustling streets.

Peak Season

Peak season typically occurs during spring (cherry blossom season, late March to early April) and Golden Week (early May), as well as the autumn foliage season (November). Expect larger crowds, higher accommodation prices, and a lively atmosphere throughout the city.

Off Season

The summer months (June to August), despite the heat and humidity, can be considered an off-season for some, with fewer international tourists and potentially lower prices outside of major Japanese holidays. Winter (December to February) also sees fewer crowds, offering a crisp, cool experience.
