The best time to visit Tokyo is between April and November. However, if you want to catch the stunning cherry blossoms in full bloom, you’ll need to be there around late March to early April. The hottest months are July and August, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 31°C (73°F to 88°F), while January is the coldest month, with temperatures between 2°C and 10°C (36°F to 50°F). Rainfall tends to be slightly higher in June, September, and October, but it’s generally moderate and shouldn’t affect your travel plans too much.
No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audio-guide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point: in the Ueno park.
Parking Keisei Ueno Station : 1-12 Uenokoen, Taito City Tokyo is best explored using public transportation. Traffic can get pretty bad sometimes. Street parking is strongly discouraged due to strict regulations. If you don’t follow the rules to the letter, you’ll likely get fined. The best option is to leave your car at your accommodation or use an underground parking lot. It’s worth checking the rates in advance, as they can be quite pricey. All in all, Tokyo’s public transit system is incredibly efficient and will take you just about anywhere—quickly, easily, and without the hassle.
A quick heads-up, many temples, museums, and tourist attractions tend to close fairly early—often around 5PM, like most shops. Be sure to check opening hours in advance so you don’t miss out on the places you’re hoping to visit!
