Hi,

I was in Tokyo in December ( beautiful weather - on two days it was warm enough at lunchtime to walk with just a shirt on ( otherwise a jumper would do). Fall colours were very good in Tokyo as well as the christmas/winter illuminations. Although in 2019 i was in tokyo in late November and it was overcast/damp for 5 of 7 days.

I was also in Hiroshima/Tokyo mid January ( cool but beautiful weather- in places some early plum blossom flowers were blooming and in a couple of places in Tokyo ( Shnjuku, Tokyo Dome City and Midtown Hibya the winter illuminations were still up ( the christmas tree in odaiba, tokyo is lit all year iirc)

Mid April is also nice ( in 2019 , it was just after peak sakura time in Tokyo, the blossoms were falling but still beautiful)
Regards

TBS
