What to do in April

Japan 7-day forecast (April 21-27)

Japan 7-day forecast (April 21-27)

A low-pressure system will move across the Sea of Japan toward the east of the country between April 23 and 24, bringing a passing front that could lead to unsettled weather across parts of Japan. Brief periods of rain and cloudy skies are possible during this time, though conditions are not expected to be severe.

From April 25 to 26, another low will pass near Sakhalin and head into the Sea of Okhotsk, while high pressure gradually spreads in from the East China Sea. This shift will bring more stable weather to much of Japan between April 25 and 27, with increasing sunshine and drier air.

Temperatures through the week are expected to range around 13–26°C (55–79°F), with cooler mornings and comfortably warm afternoons. Light layers, such as a long-sleeve shirt or sweater, will be useful, along with a compact umbrella in case of early-week showers.
