Tokyo in February

The cold carries on. Around February 3 (Setsubun) temples and shrines hold bean-throwing events. The Yushima Tenjin plum festival runs from early February to early March, so you get flowers before the cherry trees.

A cool month: highs of 11°C, lows of 2°C. Sweaters came out of the suitcase and mostly stayed on. Showers came now and then, about 6 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Counts moved moderately between years: 1 in 2025, 10 in 2024.

7 nights a month dropped below freezing on average. Gloves earned their place for early starts. Not every year was typical: 2021 ran 2.5°C warmer than the mean, with highs of 13.7°C. The coldest night came in 2020, at −3.2°C.

Typhoons i No tropical storm passed within 300 km in this month over the last 20 years. Typhoons: May to October
