What is the weather like right now in Tokyo? In a word: fickle. Although people in the UK are still talking about spring, summer is already under way in Tokyo. Recently, the days have been a mix of hot, steamy afternoons, with intermittent cloud cover, and relatively cool, pleasant evenings.
Not too hot, not too cold. Average temperature in Tokyo is 17 celcious degree. October is not a busy season but if you travel from October 6th to 8th, it's better to book hotels/trains early. This is 3-day holidays in Japan and many people go out for vacation.
