October is crisp and beautiful, with clear skies and comfortable temperatures. However, the first week is Golden Week, a major holiday that brings massive crowds and high prices.
Layers: T-shirts, sweaters, and a medium jacket. A scarf for cooler evenings. Comfortable walking shoes.
Avoid the first week if you dislike crowds; otherwise, book everything well in advance. After Golden Week, crowds drop significantly, making it a great time to visit.
