Visiting from Johannesburg to Tokyo (Haneda)
When to visit
The best time to visit Tokyo is in spring between March and April to view the famous cherry blossoms in full bloom. Some popular spots are the Shinjuku Gyoen park and Ueno Park. Temperatures range from 1°C to 12°C. Autumn is a popular time to visit to experience the colours of the trees with comfortable temperatures. If you plan to visit in winter (December to March) you’ll experience the amazing dazzling winter lights, Japanese New Year festivals and hot springs. Temperatures are cold, ranging from -4°C to 1°C. In summer (June to August) temperatures range from 26°C to 31°C. It’s a good time to visit the beaches located within a 1 to 2 hour train ride in nearby Chiba and Kanagawa and on the Izu Peninsula.
