Hydrangea season
Through June, peaking mid-month
Kamakura's temples (Meigetsu-in, Hase-dera) are famous for hydrangeas in the rain. Waterproof shoes and a compact umbrella matter more than anything else.
🇯🇵 Japan · Summer (Jun–Aug)
June averages for Tokyo (Kitanomaru Park). Source
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.
Quick-dry trousers or a skirt, breathable top and waterproof sneakers.
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.
