🇯🇵 Japan · Spring (Mar–May)
March averages for Tokyo (Kitanomaru Park). Source
March starts cold and ends mild. Cherry blossoms usually open in Tokyo and Kyoto in the last week of March, and crowds jump with them. Mornings are still around 5°C, so a trench or light padded jacket plus a knit is the right combination. Japanese school holidays begin mid-March.
Trench or light padded jacket over a knit, straight trousers or a midi skirt.
A light down vest under the jacket for chilly evenings around 5°C.
Typical dates. Many festivals follow lunar calendars, so check this year's dates before you book.

Hanami means picnicking under the trees, often on the ground for hours. Wear trousers or a longer skirt you can sit in, bring a waterproof picnic mat, and add a layer — it is cool in the shade.
