What to Wear
For the warmer weather, thin sweater, thick overcoat, and clothing similar are suitable. In early March, wearing thicker clothes would never be wrong. Later you may wear in layers as the weather is unstable, thus you can add, take away, or change the tops to adapt to weather changes.
March Travel Guide – Where to Go & Tips
Tourism Rate:
March is a good month for travelling as the first month of spring in Japan, with Hinamatsuri, the Girls’ Day celebrated in early March, cherry blossoms that begin to flower, and Animation Fair in Tokyo.
Around March 20, the cherry blossom season comes in Japan; the south first, then the north. Usually, the blossoms bloom somewhat earlier in the east coasts than the west. Osaka Castle, Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto, and Ueno Park & Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden in Tokyo are all attractive with cherry blossoms.
