Field notes
Cherry blossom season (late March–early April) and autumn foliage (October–November) are the peaks. Summer (July–August) is hot and humid in a way that's surprising to first-timers. Rainy season (June–July) brings 2–3 weeks of damp grey. Winter is cold (5–8°C) but dry and bright.
Cost of living in Tokyo: ~$2,520/mo
