June is Tokyo's rainy season. Hotel prices drop. The crowds thin. Hydrangeas bloom everywhere.

Tsuyu, the rainy season, runs roughly mid-June through mid-July. Rain comes in sustained spells rather than quick showers. The upside is genuine: hotel prices drop, crowds thin significantly, and hydrangea flowers bloom throughout the city in shades of blue and purple that are genuinely lovely. TeamLab digital art experiences and Tokyo's world-class museums become even more appealing.
