hazzly1 depends on your own individual cold tolerance of course. But for what you described ie 10-20deg, I won't even bother with heattech/base layers. T shirts (maybe long sleeve) plus a casual jacket is enough to keep me warm.

This statement prove Deodorant are fatty.

For me 20 Celsius are wearing T-shirt only. 10 - 13 Celsius will be T-shirt + one thin layer jacket.

this proof RegentCid is also fatty

the jacket must be windproof!!!
without it, when the wind blow, its like u r not wearing at all

Did you google on the right area that you are visiting? 10 to 20 sounds abit warm during mid november.

if its 10 to 20... a jacket over a tshirt should be fine. jacket with pockets to put your hands in there, if it gets too chilly...

i personally never tried heattech but it didn't work when people i went to beijing with suffered tremendously by relying on uniqlo (but that was around 0 C)

Its about right if in Tokyo. For me normally I just have a tshirt and a jacket that is not too heavy.
This is simply because if you get indoor (including public transport) its damn hot! Example today in Tokyo its about 24C and they turn off the aircon in the bus!! Its like an oven inside....

Ohhh Actually i cannot tahan sejuk, my office switch on aircond about 20 degree I already wear my jacket + uniform
Many thanx to RegentCid, deodorant, JooSeng, lucaswjk, saswoc and adele123 give for info

adele123 : I am unusual with low environmental weather. If weather abit warm maybe I will be wear like you just t-hsirt and jacket only

worst come to worst buy another when there

hi

my current travelling itinerary will generally involve moving from

Kyoto > Osaka > Tokyo all in 1 week

will i be requiring a JR pass ?

Hi sifus here,
I'm planning to go Hokkaido this year around end Oct.
Read in Japan Guide that Hokkaido trees will be turning red late Sept to early Oct. Would it be too late for me to catch the autumn leaves in late October?
When would be the best time to go Hokkaido if given a choice? Early October?

You will Miss it. If late Oct at Hokkaido.
You want to catch Hokkaido best Autumn, Have to go at Mid October.

yup mid of oct is best bet, but i will choose mid to end to be safe
from my experiences, the tree turn yellow+red is varied by locations
mountain area, forest and city... all hv their own timing
so dont get ur hope too high, as there is no perfect timing

if u planned to drive, u hv more chances to encounter yellowred hill/gorge/highway/bridge/dam

i went on first & second week, i recall only 40% or less is converted
i guessed mayb global warming delaying the winter

deodorant, mayb can gv more accurate answer, i think he went at the end of oct

Thanks for the quick response. Seems like gonna bring forward my vacation by a week.

Hi, anyone going to japan on 5 aug until 13 aug? Initially there was 4 of us that will be going, but 2 of them cancelled this week because their leave were still not approved.

Now I was thinking of joining other groups, as I still haven't done the itinerary yet.

Thats the Obon period in Japan, and most tourist place will be full of people

covering kyoto osaka and tokyo in one week....super ambitious

any idea where to find hokkaido JR timetable for October ?
i only can find June-sept time table only.

I been there 1st on oct 10 till 14 n 2nd time 2 year after on oct 25 till 28. All I can said it really depend on luck, area n timing. But I think the third week of the month is the best. I am talking bout sapporo here. Northern hokkaido may be early. Southern mayb later. My 1st trip there only mountain area turn red n yellow. My friend said a bit early. My 2nd trip there macam a bit late pulak bcox it is red n yellow but is dying soon plus it snowing on oct.... lol... seldom snow on oct 1. Tat y I said it depend on luck. Haha....

Planning 18th-28th Oct! going up north to Daisetsu first and down south to Hakodate after that! hope i still can catch a glimpse of the Autumn!

my 16~23 , planning to go biei 16/17 then Daisetsu 18/19 , then the rest is at sapporo/otaru
but i wonder is there any oct train schedule release ad?

Japan always do advance thing in 3 month gap only. From Hotel to Transport , to any ticket reservation.
Now only July ...3 month gap , means until Sept only.
You want October timetable have to wait until August
