Sleeping in a sleeping bag only compared to tent camping
First let me set the stage:
- Location: Outside of Tokyo (Lake Sagami or something similar)
- Time: End of April
- Temperature: The temperature at night is above 9 °C
- Weather: It's dry (not raining or snowing)
I have no camping experience and just want to sleep outside for a night or two.
What is the difference of sleeping in a tent compared with just a sleeping bag? Is it warmer? What are the other advantages?

A tent would protect you from rain and snow, and it would keep you warmer since it will create a warm pocket of air around you. It would also keep the bugs away.
However, if rain and/or snow and bugs aren't an issue, then I would totally recommend sleeping outside without one, because then you can see the stars and shooting stars and its a way cooler experience.
Just make certain that your sleeping bag is rated for that temperature.
