Japan Table of Contents. Japan is generally a rainy country with high humidity. Because of its wide range of latitude, Japan has a variety of climates, with a range often compared to that of the east coast of North America, from Nova Scotia to Georgia. Tokyo is at about 36 north latitude, comparable to that of Tehran, Athens, or Los Angeles.
In the southern and western parts of Japan it is typically dry and often sunny, with temperatures ranging from 32 to 59 degrees (note that all temperatures are shown as Fahrenheit). In northern Japan and in the mountains winters are just that, with snow and the cold weather typically lasting until the end of April.
