What to do in April

Japan 7-day forecast (April 14-20)

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.
