What to Wear
What to Wear in Chubu & Hokuriku in June
Tops
Short sleeves or light, breathable shirts
Outerwear
A light cardigan or hoodie for air conditioning and the mountains
Bottoms
Quick-drying pants
Shoes
Shoes that can handle getting wet; spare socks are handy
Accessories
Folding umbrella or rainwear
Mornings drop to around 13°C in Hakuba and around 15°C in Takayama and Matsumoto. Kamikochi and Murodo on Tateyama are much colder than the cities, so bring a long-sleeved jacket and rain gear.
Good to Know
Good to Know
An umbrella and rainwear are essential
It's a season of many rainy and cloudy days. If you plan to walk in Kamikochi or Hakuba, rainwear that leaves your hands free is more convenient than an umbrella.
Consider the mountains during the rainy season
Kamikochi is said to get relatively little rain even in June, and it's a quieter time there. Building high-altitude areas into your trip is a good way to avoid Nagoya's muggy heat.
Muggy heat versus air conditioning
Nagoya and Kanazawa are humid, and buildings and trains are strongly air-conditioned. A light layer to throw on will help keep you from feeling unwell.
Watch for heavy rain alerts
Heavy rain can occur toward the end of the rainy season. On days you're traveling through mountain areas like the Kiso Valley or Hida, check train service updates and weather information.
