Weather while cruising Japan

[LindsayGord]

We are sailing on Silver Nova 2025 around Japan in April. I'm wondering what the temperatures may be at that time of year?

Had to smile at the above climate post.  It certainly can rain in Japan, during the spring, but 6 inches a day is not very likely (or you should book Noah's Ark).  The key to Japan in the spring/fall is having layers to deal with any temperature extreme.  Rain gear is always a good idea.  When DW and I were in Japan during March-April of 2023, we encountered many days of rain.  It was a very wet spring, and we managed to do everything on our bucket list (we spent a couple of weeks traveling pre-cruise) because we had the right outerwear to deal with some very rainy days.  And by the way, when planning for the possibility of rain, do not neglect your footwear.  Wet feet can make a day quite miserable and also lead to blisters.

We were just in Japan B2B starting in late March, 2024.  Several days of heavy rain during the B2B, but also lovely sunny and warm days too.  And we lucked out with the cherry blossoms while in  southern Japan.

 

We also have visited Japan in the fall and, for those curious, the fall colors are wonderful too.
