Rain is typically quite light, but we do have heavier downpours on occasion.
As Japan is an island nation, the weather is often unpredictable.
In other words, it can rain at any time, Andres says.
There are particular times of year when rain is to be expected.
Similarly, there can be typhoons anytime from around May to October, the expert explained.
Whenever rain is forecast, you tend to see people carrying umbrellas around in preparation.
Basically, if you see locals carrying umbrellas, its safe to assume rain is in the forecast.
Absolutely bring some kind of water-resistant footwear, the Japan Wonder Travel team shared.
It will make a world of difference.
Especially if you are a tourist, something that is water-resistant and good for walking would be best.
It ruins a good day of sightseeing if you have wet socks all day.
We always recommend packing good walking shoes for rainy weather, just in case.
But rain isnt the only thing that travelers should be aware of before making their way to Japan.
Outside of the rain, this time of year is quite hot and humid.
Bring light clothing and have pocket money so you can buy drinks to stay hydrated.
