Sierra Long RTGAmbassador Despite the harsh weather conditions, many locals sold ice cream and other odd food choices that didn?t quite match the theme of the weather, which was an interesting culture shock for our group. Another interesting fact about the weather in Japan is the winds we experienced. The windy conditions made the temperature feel much cooler than it actually was, causing our group to have to put on extra layers. These winds were particularly challenging when we were viewing Mount Fuji, making the temperature feel freezing. Once we traveled further into Kyoto and Osaka, the weather was more humid and warm due to our close proximity to the coast. This warmer weather allowed us to travel with fewer layers, and made the outdoor activities more comfortable. Most of the rain we experienced was in Tokyo, so our trip to these coastal cities was quite enjoyable in terms of climate and weather. Despite the predominant cold temperatures we were exposed to, the trip educated us on the varying seasons and weather patterns that Japan experiences. For instance, Tokyo's climate is marked by significant seasonal changes, each bringing unique weather patterns and experiences. Spring is mild and blooming, summer is hot and humid, autumn is cool and colorful, and winter is mild and clear. These seasonal variations offer a dynamic and diverse climate that shapes the lifestyle and activities of Tokyo's residents and visitors. Whether it's the cherry blossoms in spring, summer festivals, autumn foliage, or crisp winter days, Tokyo's weather plays a crucial role in the city's cultural and social vibrancy. Overall, Japan?s weather is unique, demonstrating varying climates and seasons despite being an island off of Asia. Experiencing this varied weather and climate really allowed us to fully experience Japan?s culture which is dependent on its unique weather.
