July weather in Tokyo — FAQ
Q. Is July in Tokyo too hot for sightseeing?
A. It can be tough if you are very heat-sensitive, but with slower pacing, frequent breaks, and good sun protection, you can still enjoy the city.
Q. Are sandals okay for walking?
A. Supportive walking sandals are fine, but completely flat slip-ons can quickly tire your feet. Bringing both sandals and sneakers so you can alternate is ideal.

A. Humidity can feel similar to or slightly worse than Korea’s midsummer. Because you often move between underground spaces and hot streets, light clothing and plenty of fluids are key.
