What should I wear in Tokyo in November?

If you're in Tokyo, you can get by with simple jacket or hoodie, likely. Late November, it can get pretty chilly at night and you might need more layers. Layers and waterproof running shoes. I typically go tshirt, thin warm sweater/sweatshirt on or packed away, and a thin waterproof jacket on or packed away.



November in Tokyo is characterized by crisp, cool weather with average highs of 17°C (63°F) and lows of 10°C (50°F). The air is generally dry and sunny, making it one of the most pleasant times for sightseeing. You should plan for layering: a light to medium-weight jacket or a stylish trench coat is essential for the mornings and evenings. During the day, a sweater or a long-sleeve knit top is usually sufficient. Because Tokyo involves a lot of walking (often 10-15 km a day), comfortable, "polished" sneakers or ankle boots are a must. Japanese fashion tends to be modest and coordinated, so neutral colors like navy, charcoal, and beige work well for blending in. Don't forget a large scarf, which can double as a wrap during the chilly evenings when the sun goes down. Since you'll frequently remove your shoes at temples or traditional restaurants, always wear clean, presentable socks.
