Summer in Tokyo

While the temperature in Tokyo doesn't go much over 30 degrees centigrade in summer, it does get quite humid. The beaches "officially" open from July and they can be a good place to cool down. Mountain get aways are also popular to escape the heat and humidity.

Yasukuni Summer Festival

Despite the heat, Tokyo is a fun place to be during summer with an interesting mix of festivals that are held right through summer. Spectacular fireworks shows are held almost every weekend at different locations around Tokyo. If you are feeling thirsty, be sure to take in a beer garden.
