It is already cold now, will be even colder in December.

The temperature range from lowest of 1-2 degree to the warmest of 13-15 degree in December.

Tokyo is near sea so when wind starts to blow, it is very cold, colder when drizzling.

Yes, hotel should have heater or central heating system.

Japanese hotels routinely overheat their rooms... I am not sure if they still do that now as they are getting into the going green thing.

the legislation is such that they will maintain a certain ambient temperature indoors or they will have to pay really high utilities tariffs for consuming too much power.

heating needs power and Japan used to generate loads of power from nuclear means. There was a leak (the media called it a disaster, no one died from the immediate meltdown though) and people are "cautious" about nuclear power

my hotel last dec didnt provide heating. infact, i could still on the aircon (no heater mode. only fan mode)

i just opened my windows to let the natural air in

Usually hotel have climate control

ESP if we go winter the Air is shiok to suck in

Of course. Japanese are humans too and need heaters as well.

Any idea if we need thermal wear for tokyo?

When?

If around now... I'm alternating between autumn and winter wear. Typically I wear a set of inner wear, normal clothes and a jacket. There were a couple of days this month during which we had windy and rainy conditions so I wore my winter jacket on those days.

 

[fuzzybear]
