What to do in April
Japan 7-day forecast (April 14-20)

This week in Japan, the weather pattern will shift several times due to changing pressure systems. Early in the week, a low-pressure system moves from northern Japan toward the Kuril Islands, while high pressure drifts eastward. As we approach midweek, a ridge of high pressure travels east, followed by a developing trough near the Yellow Sea.
By the weekend, a new low-pressure system is expected to approach from the Korean Peninsula, bringing a front across Japan. This may lead to unsettled conditions, especially later in the week.
Temperatures throughout the week will generally stay mild, hovering around 15–20°C (59–68°F) during the day, with cooler mornings and evenings. You can expect a mix of sunshine, clouds, and some rain—especially toward the weekend.
Typhoon information

No typhoon warnings have been issued for the Tokyo area this week.
Japan's typhoon season runs from May through October, with most activity from July to September. During a typhoon, transit delays and cancelations can be expected.
