When Is The Best time To Visit Tokyo?
This page contains all the important Tips on how to plan your time in Tokyo according to Tokyo weather and traditional Japanese festivals.

If this is not a business trip, and you can plan your vacation, I would say the decision should be based on 3 factors:

1. Tokyo weather . What is the best month to visit Tokyo?
   Since at least two of the seasons are very extreme, this is absolutely the first factor I would take into consideration.

   
   It just seems that if you're coming for a short vacation - make the circumstances work in your favor as much as possible.

   
   Plan ahead, and choose the best month to visit, and times to avoid. After all - you do want to walk around in the streets (which is the best way to see Tokyo attractions.




2. Traditional Japanese festivals - if you have some control over the dates of your arrival consider arriving at the time of one of the major Traditional Japanese festivals- cherry blossom flower festival and autumn (fall foliage).

   
   Traditional Japanese festivals are so unique and outstanding- the culture of Japan, the costumes, the music and the special Traditional Japanese Foods which accompany each celebration.
   Arriving at one of these festivals is really the best time To Visit Tokyo




3. Peak seasons of travel and Japanese national holidays - certain times of the year can get very crowded on the subway system, hotels and Tokyo museums.
   On certain Japanese national holidays it is a custom for locals to visit their families in their home towns, so the city actually becomes less crowded.

   
   In any case - if your date of arrival is close to any of these Japanese national holidays,
   especially the cherry blossom flower festival,
   book your hotel in advance !!!
