What to wear in March in Fukuoka
Actual feel will change with wind and rain, but use the suggestions below to build a comfortable layered outfit.
- • In early March, winter coats or padded jackets still work well; toward late March, a trench coat or light coat becomes enough on many days.
- • Swap heavy thermals for lighter inners like thin knits, sweatshirts, and long-sleeve T-shirts, but keep the idea of layering.
- • If you wear cropped pants or show your ankles, slightly thicker socks help, especially on night buses or trains.
Travel tips for visiting Fukuoka in March
- • From mid-March, riverside and park walks become very pleasant—add places like Ohori Park or Canal City surroundings to your itinerary.
- • Rainy days feel much colder than the numbers, so having one extra warm layer or a light padded jacket as backup helps a lot.
- • If you want to catch cherry blossoms, plan for late March or early April and book flights and hotels a bit earlier than usual.
March weather in Fukuoka — FAQ
