The perfect clothing guide for a November trip to Japan! Proposals for coordination according to the temperature

November in Japan is the season when autumn deepens and the best time to see the fall leaves is.

However, since the warmth of the day and the chill in the morning and evening coexist, you will often be worried about what to wear.

In this article, I will introduce in detail the key points for choosing clothes to enjoy a comfortable and stylish trip to Japan in November.

We will suggest temperatures and recommended coordination for each region, and provide tips for fully enjoying Japan in the fall.

The climate and characteristics of Japan in November

November Average Temperatures and Seasonal Feelings

Japan in November is a transition period that changes from fall to winter, and temperatures drop rapidly in various places.

In Tokyo, the average temperature drops from 10 to 15 degrees, and the morning and evening in particular continue to cool, making you feel the arrival of winter.

There are days when you can still feel the warmth of autumn during the day, but it is necessary to take proper measures against the cold when going outside at night.

The line between the end of fall and the beginning of winter

November is the season when the end of autumn and the beginning of winter intersect.

It is also a time when fall foliage is beautiful, and you can enjoy fall foliage hunting at tourist spots all over the country, but the first snowfall may already be observed in areas at high altitudes.

Therefore, it is important to choose clothes depending on where you are visiting.

Lightweight coats and jackets are useful in urban areas, but heavier cold weather gear is required in mountainous areas and cold regions.

Tips for dressing according to the November temperature

Cold protection measures to get ahead of winter

In November, many regions in Japan require clothing that is conscious of the arrival of winter.

Since it gets cold in the morning and evening, wool or cashmere sweaters and light coats are useful.

Also, it's a good idea to have small items such as knitted hats, gloves, and stoles.

On windy days, outerwear made of materials that do not let the wind pass through is effective, so you can enjoy style while keeping out the cold.

Layered style accommodates changes in temperature during the day

The layered style is perfect because the warmth that makes you feel the remnants of autumn still remains during the day.

If you choose a light knit or shirt as an inner layer, layer a cardigan or sweater on top, and wear a jacket or coat, you can respond flexibly to changes in temperature.

Also, expressing the transition from fall to winter with color combinations and textures is another point to enjoy the sense of the season.

November temperatures and clothing guide by region in Japan

November Temperatures and Clothes in Tokyo and Kanto

In Tokyo and the Kanto region, the number of days when daytime temperatures drop below 15 degrees will increase in November.

It gets even colder in the morning and evening, so you need a light down jacket or wool coat.

Also, coordination incorporating sweaters and fleece is the key to staying comfortable while making you feel the season.

The point is to incorporate a layered style during the day to make it easier to adjust the warmth.

November Temperatures and Clothes in the Kansai Region

In the Kansai region, fall foliage is at its most beautiful, mainly in Kyoto and Osaka.

The average temperature in November is around 10 to 15 degrees, and it gets particularly cold in the morning and evening in Kyoto.

As for clothing, in addition to light outerwear, wear innerwear to handle the cold.

Also, when enjoying fall foliage viewing, shoes that are easy to walk in and measures against the cold are necessary. Don't forget gloves and a stole.

November Temperatures and Clothes in the Hokkaido/Tohoku Region

In Hokkaido and the Tohoku region, winter weather will already arrive in November.

The average temperature in Sapporo and Sendai often falls below 10 degrees, and the cold becomes severe, so a down coat and warm boots are essential.

Also, cold weather accessories such as gloves, hats, and scarves are also useful.

Snow can also fall, so it's safe to bring snow boots or waterproof outerwear.

The best clothing items for a November trip

How to choose a down jacket

For a November trip to Japan, a lightweight and highly insulating down jacket is perfect.

In particular, the type that can be stored compactly is convenient even when the daytime temperature rises.

When choosing, we recommend those that have been treated to be water repellent or that have a removable hood.

Also, in addition to standard colors such as black and navy, you can create a sense of the season by choosing Bordeaux or khaki that are typical of autumn and winter.

How to use knitted hats and stoles

Cold weather accessories such as knitted hats and stoles are essential for November to cool down.

In particular, wool and cashmere materials have high heat retention and feel good against the skin, so you can stay comfortable even on cold days.

Also, by sticking to design, you can add an accent to a simple coat or jacket and enjoy a stylish winter style.

While traveling, it's also a good idea to bring multiple colors and designs to vary your outfit.

If you want to avoid the increase in luggage, we recommend purchasing locally at UNIQLO etc.

Clothes suitable for fall foliage viewing in Kyoto

If you want to enjoy fall foliage viewing in Kyoto, it's important to wear clothes that are warm and easy to move around in.

For example, a style that combines a thin knit with a wool coat is the best.

For your feet, choose boots that are easy to walk in and protect against the cold, so you won't get tired even when walking for a long time.

Also, if you choose clothes with a calm color that shines in the red or yellow of autumn leaves, you can aim to look great in photos.

Recommended outfits for walking around Tokyo

In November in Tokyo, the sunshine of autumn still remains during the day, so you can spend enough time in light outerwear.

We recommend a style that combines a light down jacket or trench coat with a turtleneck knit.

As for your feet, enjoy style while ensuring ease of movement with sneakers or short boots.

Adding a seasonal touch with a bag or scarf will tighten up your overall outfit.

summary

When planning a trip to Japan in November, it is important to choose flexible clothing that can handle changes in temperature.

While taking proper measures against the cold, you can enjoy the seasonal feeling that changes from fall to winter.

Enjoy a comfortable and stylish trip by skillfully incorporating compact down jackets, light knitwear, and cold weather accessories.

Also, considering the temperature differences in each region and choosing clothes that match the place you are visiting, the point is to make your trip even more fulfilling.
