I feel like I'm flunking Japan-TripAdvisor 101.
I've gone to the website many people have recommended, https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/indexe.html but I don't see where to get a 2 week forecast for specific cities. I see where I can find it by prefecture, but not individual cities.
I need 2 week forecasts, and then the next few days forecast, and then daily forecasts. Radar would be a welcome bonus for hourly forecasts.
Thanks again.
Not sure when your trip is but just pack for the historical averages at the time of year you are travelling
Clothing for Tokyo. Add layers for higher altitude, ie Kamikochi and Nikko. Add layers for early morning and evening. Peel off if it gets hot during the day. https://matcha-jp.com/en/366
Clothing for Kyoto. It's not much different than Tokyo. https://kyoto.travel/en/info/other/weather.html
Your "complete" guide. https://livejapan.com/en/article-a0002012/
Always bring a foldie umbrella and waterproof shoes, ie lightweight, comfortable walking/hiking shoes.

DLi, Can you please tell me how to search for Kamikochi in tenki? I can type it in the search boxes until the cows come home but it won't find it for me. Thank you!
"2 weeks forecast so I can pack based on what the best guess weather will be then"
If you are only traveling with only carry on luggage I could understand, but if you are taking checked in baggage then you will have plenty of room to pack for two seasons at least.
#15 You just click on the link. (Or copy and paste the link on your browser.) Scroll down. You get 10 days. May 6 to 11. Rain, sunny and/or cloudy. From everything from 6C to 23 C.
It will basically be the same for the rest of the month. Wear layers.

I just use the Canadian weather network website
Here's another site.
