Japan has four seasons!!! That makes it unique in the world!

(okay, everyone can stop laughing now --- for the unaware that is a classic japanese misconception)

In Tokyo specifically.... it runs pretty hot in the summer (late 90F+), and gets thunderstorms in the late springtime and late summer. It usually snows a bit in winter but last winter is the first time anyone recalls that it did NOT snow in Tokyo. Its a coastal town so they get tropical storms on occasion. It is hotter than the surrounding areas on average due to the "urban concrete island" effect.

An umbrella is hardly ever a bad idea (rain or shine).

edit: @aohige below me here ... I was going to say Tokyo's weather reminded me of the weather in Houston, TX but I wasn't sure how that would be taken...
