June is tsuyu, the rainy season: warm, humid and drizzly for long stretches (Hokkaido is the exception — it has almost no rainy season). Hydrangeas bloom and crowds are lighter. Quick-dry fabrics and waterproof shoes matter more than anything else this month.

☀️ By day

Quick-dry trousers or a skirt, breathable top and waterproof sneakers.

🌙 Evening

Thin cardigan for humid but air-conditioned restaurants.

Typical dates. Many festivals follow lunar calendars, so check this year's dates before you book.

Late June to July

Hokkaido has almost no rainy season, so it's a great June escape. Days are pleasant and sunny — bring a sun hat and a light layer for cool evenings.

Dress code

  • Cover shoulders and knees at temples and shrines; a light cardigan solves it in summer.
  • Shoes come off in temples, ryokan, some restaurants and fitting rooms — slip-ons and clean, hole-free socks save time.
  • Very revealing or low-cut tops stand out more than short hemlines; locals dress modestly up top.
