12c is okay, just need layers :
1) base layer - uniqlo's heatech ultra-warm thermals
2) mid layer - wool
3) insulation layer- fleece
4) outer layer - waterproof down feather jacket

you will enjoy Japan immensely and tremendously! especially on your first trip to japan!

That time I went Korea.

I went to watch movie at night and after that walked to train station. The temp was about 12 degrees and I can feel the coldness but still can tolerate.

Beside I am mid 50s liao.

It is more on the wind speed that makes it chills. Proper layering will help to address the chilling wind.
