Choose Breathable Clothing
Light fabrics and looser fits can feel more comfortable during long days outside.
Plan for Strong Air Conditioning
Trains, malls and offices can feel much cooler than the street, so a very light extra layer can be useful for some people.
Wear Comfortable Shoes
Tokyo often involves more walking than visitors expect.
Prepare for Sun and Sudden Rain
Sun protection and a compact umbrella can both be useful in summer.
