now i wat season and the temperature there how?? u mean the one bought in malaysia cannot use there 1?? only buy from there can tahan?

i'll be going to Tokyo on 12 april - 18may......
im also in dilemma about clothings....

how cold will it be? average temperature??

Now it's the infamous spring season. Sakura season !

Just checked the temperature of Tokyo today: it's 8 degrees average

as matt85 was pointing out, you can check the temperature @ yahoo or a lot of website. just search. easiest forecast would be japanguide.com

buying jacket / windbreaker in msia (travellers shop) is expensive and might not worth it. just get a longjohn and you're fine. i did bought one jacket and its not helping at all.

Hmmm.....the exact location u should be asking Tanoshi ler...he is more familiar with the place.

BTW, it's...just HALAL...those guys are from Pakistan or something...small little place with about 6 table only inside the tiniy restaurant..

Hi all,
i'm travelling to tokyo on 27 to 30th March.

This is the first time i'm traveling abroad and i checked tokyo's weather during the few days i'm there will be about plus minus 10 celcius.

i'm wondering if i need gloves and the winter hat (dunno what it is called.LOL) to survive the weather?

cause i've been told with mixed answer. some say at that temperature, plenty of winter jacket will be enough, while other say i will probably wont be able to step outside without gloves and the hat.

i'm on a real tight budget and that's why i wanna save as much as i could, hopefully i do not have to buy those stuff.

and finally, i see that you guys are setting up a gathering on 29th, which is a coincident with my visiting period !

hope to see you there!

Actually I also afraid of the coldness uncertainty in Japan. I just bought a jacket + long john... hope is enough to keep me warm XD. Maybe i will wear 2 jackets + 1 shirt + long john = 4 layers XD

glad to hear another fellow LYN to join the gathering. welcome to the gath!

are you going for holiday or business? seemed it is a short visit . staying where? if you don't mind telling.

anyway, long john and jacket would be fine, but you have have extra shirts if you are the type 'tak tahan sejuk'.
gloves would be useless since it would troublesome for you if u need to use coins. just keep your hands in the jacket's pocket. snowcap? a bit hassle if you're not a capwearing person. (i'm not and threw away after wearing it a day).

If i didnt get lost, i might join u gais too

Don't worry. Just disembark at the famous JR Ueno Station and look for the Saigo Takamori statue (where we'll gather first). It's that simple

I think I may have miss reading on some of the planning, but just to ask again:

In case of raining, what is the backup plan?

woaaahhhh now quite cold la in tokyo.... how about early april? will it still be the same??

im a cold-intolerance person.... huhuhuhuhu

i'm staying at Asakusa Smile for the first night and Khaosan Tokyo Original for the 2nd and 3rd night.
both are located at sumida-ku.

this is the cheapest accommodation i can find.

i'm going there for a short backpack holiday after attending my sister's wedding at taiwan. and my gf who is a forumer here (Missy Joc3) will be coming along too ! .

up till now i haven't plan anything for the 4 days in tokyo yet i'm departing on this friday

Thanks for the answer, i can save more money for some ramen without buying the snow cap and gloves then

saigo takamori statue is the main thing, but i bet there's a lot of people there. tanoshii will be waving his flag

why do you need a timbaland boot? just asking. cos if you're thinking of the snow apparels, they do rent boots for snowboarding/skiing.
i'm not sure abt you, but walking in a boot around tokyo, it gonna kills my feet. sneakers is much better for me. btw, last time bought jacket from timbaland in tokyo, costs me RM60(JPY2000), while the original price was JPY20,000. price in msia was around RM499.

Hey,im also departing on 27th March but ur journey start from Taiwan or Malaysia? I've been to Asakusa Smile before. That place is quite hype for a young people. But this time around, I will be staying at Asakusa Taikosou. Just to remind you that Asakusa Smile is a bit hard to find that place at first. I went there and have to find that place for 1 hour. They give you a free coupon that you can trade it with beer..Nice place
