Visa, currency, language, and weather information

• Visa guidelines: British passport holders enter Japan without a visa for visits lasting up to 90 days.
• Currency: Japan uses the Japanese Yen (JPY). While contactless cards work across central Tokyo, carrying cash notes makes payments smoother at smaller shops and street stalls.
• Language: Tokyo speaks Japanese (Nihongo) as its primary language. Because English remains uncommon in many districts, memorising essential greetings helps you interact with locals easily.
• Weather information: Tokyo brings distinct seasonal weather all year round. Summer brings high heat, sticky humidity, and brief downpours from June to August, making museum visits and indoor luxury gallerias ideal. Autumn brings mild days and golden foliage from September to November. Crisp winter days run from December to February with sunny skies suited to temple walks, while spring from March to May delivers comfortable weather and blooming parks.
