What to Do in July
July in Japan marks the start of summer festivals and fireworks season. Don’t miss events like Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri or the Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka for a truly local experience. Beat the heat with refreshing seasonal foods like kakigori (shaved ice) and cold noodles such as hiyashi chuka. Expect hot, humid weather, especially in cities, so wear light, breathable clothing and carry a small towel and fan. Rainy season often lingers into early July, so pack a compact umbrella. Also check out night-time projection mapping installations or rooftop beer gardens for cooler evening fun.

Seasonal Tips & Current Vibe
- Pack for Rainy Season: July is part of Japan's rainy season (tsuyu), especially in central and southern regions. Bring lightweight, waterproof clothing, an umbrella, and shoes suitable for wet conditions. Check local weather forecasts, as rain can be intermittent.
- Book Accommodations Early: July starts seeing some summer crowds, so popular destinations like Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka will fill up. Reserve hotels or ryokans at least 2-3 months in advance for better rates and availability.
- Book Indoor Attractions Ahead, Too: With potential rain, plan for indoor activities like museums (e.g., Tokyo National Museum; teamLab Planets and teamLab Borderless), aquariums (e.g., Art Aquarium; Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan), or shopping arcades (e.g., Shinsaibashi in Osaka). These are great ways to enjoy your time in Japan without worrying about the weather.
- Bring Insect Repellent for Outdoor Trips: Especially during summer and in rural areas, mosquitoes can be a nuisance. You can easily find sprays, wipes, and wearable repellents at drugstores or convenience stores across Japan. Read more about recommended insect repellents here.
- Don't Forget Sunscreen: Japan’s sun can be strong, especially in summer. High-quality sunscreens, including waterproof and sensitive-skin formulas, are widely available at drugstores and cosmetic shops. Read more about recommended sunscreens here.
