Early June marks the start of summer in Japan, with mild temperatures, rising humidity, and occasional rain as the rainy season begins. It's a great time to visit before the peak crowds. Indoor activities are ideal on drizzly days, and seasonal treats like somen noodles, kakigori, and matcha soft serve are perfect for the warm weather. Japanese irises and hydrangeas are in bloom, with famous spots like Meigetsu-in and Hasedera in Kamakura drawing crowds.

Mostly cloudy skies are on the way for Tokyo, with rain possible on and off throughout the week. Temperatures will stay moderate, generally in the mid- to upper-20s Celsius (around 77–86°F), making it feel warm but not too hot.
