Climate
Japan spans several climate zones:
- Hokkaido (North): Cold winters (-10 to 0 °C), mild summers (20–25 °C). Lots of snow.
- Tokyo/Kanto: Warm-temperate. Summers hot and humid (30–35 °C), winters mild (2–10 °C).
- Kansai (Kyoto/Osaka): Similar to Tokyo, slightly warmer. Summers brutally humid.
- Okinawa: Subtropical. Warm all year round (20–32 °C), typhoons in summer.
Rainy season (Tsuyu): Mid-June to mid-July (except Hokkaido). Rainy, but not constant — an umbrella is enough. Typhoon season: August to October.
