Kyoto in June
Rainy season, glowing moss gardens
The short answer
June is a reasonable month in Kyoto — with trade-offs.
The rainy season brings grey skies and humidity, but also deep green moss gardens and blooming hydrangeas. Crowds thin out and prices ease. Showers are usually more gentle than stormy.
