Japan has four clear seasons. September to November, and March through to the beginning of May are the best times to travel given the minimal rain and comfortable temperatures. That is my opinion – add more research as weather sometimes evolve season after season.
Things to see and do in Tokyo:
-Wander through the Imperial Palace Gardens: The manicured lawns, overhung with carefully trimmed pine and Shop at Ginza shopping district.
-Soak up Shinjuku’s nightlife : ‘the city within the city’, it’s Tokyo’s buzzing commerce hub, an ideal spot to head to after a day’s exploration.
-Watch the street fashion in Harajuku Harajuku locals, Tokyo ; Since the 1970s, district has become a hive of Japanese youth culture and fashion.
-Visit Sensoji Temple: Simply put it – Tokyo full of temples …and Sensoji is where it all began.
-Join the crowd at Shibuya pedestrian crossing; which is world’s busiest intersections, with ten lanes of traffic and five crossroads converge under the relentless flashing of neon signs.
-Appreciate the peace at Meiji Shrine; the Meiji Shrine was built in the imperial couple’s memory and completed in 1920. This has green space, with its wide, tree-lined paths and peaceful benches, makes a refreshing change of pace to the city beyond.
-Take a night photography tour you would likely capture the neon, fast-moving traffic and crowds of people on the go. and other less photographed parts of the city.
– Attend a sumo tournament or training ground ; Who doesn’t know sumo! but note that tickets for better positioned seats are always bought in advance, so get them earlier,….otherwise get the bench seats or any unsold spaces are purchased on the door…which can also offer amazing view.
– You can also learn the basics of samurai fighting: such as Tetsuro Shimaguchi and his team of Kamui — samurai sword artists
