What is the weather in Japan during spring
Certainly, spring is an easy season to travel in Japan comfortably, but there is large difference in temperature in the season. March is looked on as spring in Japan while it has snow in Hokkaido and Northern Japan. And a little snow is left until early or mid April in those areas. In Tokyo and Kanto region, it gets warmer and warmer from March, and cherry blossoms start blooming around mid March and fully bloom between late March and early April. In May, it is calm and sometimes hot, and then rainy season draws with humidity.
Here, we have the daily average temperatures in Tokyo during spring between 2010 and 2022.
Average temperature in Tokyo:
March: 8-13°C (46.4-55.4°F)
April: 13-17°C (55.4-62.6°F)
May: 18-21°C (64.4-69.8°F)

What to wear in Japan during winter
In March in Japan, you may still feel cold especially in the early morning and evening as it snows in some areas like Hokkaido. It’s recommended to wear a layer of clothing: long-sleeved T-shirts, a sweater and a down coat maybe. In April, it’s enough for many people to wear T-shirts and a jacket, a parka or a thin coat. In May, some people just wear T-shirts in the daytime, however, it’s useful to have a cardigan sweater or a jacket just in case.
