How Is the Weather Like in Tokyo in March?
Tokyo in March usually sits around 10°C to 20°C (50°F–68°F), so mornings and evenings can feel cool while afternoons warm up. Packing works best with layers you can add or remove fast, plus rain-ready pieces for occasional wet days. Coastal breezes can make it feel cooler near the water.
