Tokyo is a year-round destination, but there’s something magical about visiting during the fall. As the summer heat fades, the city transforms into a comfortable, colorful place to explore. If you’re planning a trip, remote work stay, or extended visit, fall might be the perfect time for you to rent a furnished short-term apartment in Tokyo. Here’s why.
1. Perfect Weather for City Life
Fall in Tokyo (from late September through November) brings cooler temperatures, crisp air, and far less humidity than the summer months. Average daytime temperatures range between 15°C and 22°C (59°F – 72°F), making it ideal for walking, sightseeing, and enjoying the city without breaking a sweat. You’ll be able to stroll through neighborhoods like Shimokitazawa, Daikanyama, and Nakameguro without the crowds of peak summer travel — and without needing constant air conditioning.
2. Stunning Autumn Foliage
Tokyo might be a sprawling metropolis, but it’s also home to some of the most beautiful fall foliage in Japan. Parks and gardens across the city turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. Some must-see spots include:
Shinjuku Gyoen – A spacious garden perfect for a relaxed afternoon.

Staying in one of our short-term apartments near these areas allows you to enjoy the beauty of the season right outside your door.
3. Seasonal Food Delights
Fall is harvest season in Japan, which means plenty of limited-edition treats and warming comfort foods. Look out for roasted sweet potatoes (yaki-imo), grilled sanma (Pacific saury), and desserts made with chestnuts, kabocha pumpkin, or persimmon. One of the best things about staying in our furnished apartments? You can shop at local markets and try cooking some of these seasonal dishes in your own fully-equipped kitchen.
4. Flexible, Comfortable Living
Unlike hotels, short-term apartments offer more space, privacy, and flexibility — especially important if you’re staying for a few weeks or more. Many travelers, remote workers, and returning expats choose apartments in fall to avoid the tourist-heavy winter and spring seasons. Our furnished apartments in Tokyo come fully equipped with kitchens, laundry machines, Wi-Fi, and everything you need to feel at home. Whether you’re here for work or a long vacation, fall is a great time to settle into a cozy, private space.
5. Lower Travel Crowds
Fall is considered a shoulder season in Tokyo. That means easier reservations at restaurants, less congestion on trains, and often better rates on accommodation compared to peak cherry blossom or holiday periods. We look forward to welcoming you this season!
