Good to Know

Good to Know

An umbrella is essential

During the rainy season, it can suddenly start raining even if the morning was sunny. You can buy plastic umbrellas at konbini (convenience stores), but carrying a folding umbrella is handy.

Plan indoor sightseeing for rainy days

Include places you can enjoy indoors — museums, aquariums, teamLab, shopping malls — in your plans.

Muggy outside, cold inside

It's hot and humid outdoors, but trains and shops have strong air conditioning. A layer that's easy to put on and take off keeps you comfortable.

Mt. Fuji is hard to see

During the rainy season it's often cloudy, and days when you can see Mt. Fuji are few. If Mt. Fuji is your goal, you have a better chance in winter.
