Why isn’t anyone mentioning the super cute little girl dancing in the Matauri?! Did you miss it?

@towada1066 Месяц назад

hmmm,... when I have to go back to Japan, I mostly ignore children. Especially for the ones riding the bus and train alone, they are just trying to get to school or home. The one thing I appreciate is that in kabuki and noh, children are brought up in the theater with their own unique roles.

You should! but dont be fooled its still hot.. but those festivals make it so worth it

@saikamoon_ Месяц назад

Something to surely consider. Those lantern festivals look epic!!! Have to plan an additional trip for summer to Tohoku. I always worried about the humidity and not being able to eat well, haha. Im sold on all of these amazing features. Wowzah!!!!❤🎏

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

Tohoku and the North of Japan has a totally amazing vibe, although it can still be hot and some humidity during the day in the morning and the evenings things are very different and refreshing!

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

If you do then heading North is the key, especially if you already done the golden triangle! .. It will still be hot, you simply can't escape the heat but its more manageable, especially in the evenings and mornings

@rjl310 21 день назад

I arrived in Osaka, May 10th. I’m currently in Fukuoka. I’ll be leaving from Tokyo on June 1st. My two previous trips here were both at the end of September/ beginning of October. I will not be coming here again early, mid or end of summer. Lol It almost doesn’t matter what the warm/hot temperature is: the humidity makes it miserable. Next trip here I’m planning to go north to Hokkaido.

Shoutout to the Hakodate Minato Matsuri (Hakodate Port Festival). I participated in this festival in my teenage years (sister city sporting/cultural exchange) and I've been back to it once since to observe, and it is an incredible Matsuri.

Seems planning around festivals are the way to go in summer , it's good that websites allow bookings with free cancellations , I'd definitely be booking those now who ever plans to go, you've given me a different perspective on summer Ninja I'm so sick of the heat

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

I think they key for summer travel is 1) festivals 100% and 2) Heading North.. It's still going to be hot but the evenings give you releif and the festivals keep you energised

Japan (the North that is) during summer for the trip after the next one it is 😉

It’s still hot though just more pleasant especially in the morning and evenings Hokkaido even cooler :)

I'm definitely going to Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka! Have you been there already? You didn't mention it.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

Yes I have been, it was one of the most crowded matsuri ive ever experienced! .. i didnt mention because I really think that going North is a better option

@fmtikitakamaster Месяц назад

I have been to Japan 5 times, and 3 of those times were in summer, Japanese summer is great, except for typhoon, while for me the heat is not so much different from my country

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

wow what country are you from?! I do love summer, I complain about the humidity but there's something special in the area during that season

@fmtikitakamaster Месяц назад

@@NinjaMonkeyguy i am from North Italy and humidity here is quite high. I do not know how long you have been living in Japan, but to give you an example: I went to Japan in August 2018 last time, I did not feel any difference in humidity with my city. The first time I went to Tokyo it was July 2003 and I felt some difference. It's because of climate change

@jimross7648 Месяц назад

Well, although I've been home for Japan for a whole week, I'm almost ready to return. I got home to 16 degrees Celsius which was nice. I was already over heating at 25 degrees Celsius. I wore short sleeved tee shirts mostly, and an open jacket, while the local residents were in sweaters and warm coats. They thought I was crazy, and must be freezing but no. I was home a whole 3 days when temperature dropped to -3 degrees Celsius and we got three centimetres of snow, and yes I felt cold for the day and a half it lasted. Now, Japan in summer even the Northern areas would be tough on my Canadian temperature regulation. However, I really want to attend the Matsuri's mentioned, but I think I'd melt given the temperatures and humidity. Plus and Negatives.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

yes its still hot Jim! no escaping especially if you are from Canada!! but they are SO WORTH IT! Im buzzing from just watching my own video lol

@towada1066 Месяц назад

The North is a little difficult for me. I really like Aomori Prefecture, but I cannot speak their dialect,... it is definitely not standard Japanese. The buna and hiba trees here are so beautiful. The oil from the hiba tree is especially scented. Then again, I just am always afraid hiking here because of the bears.

@revanshy498 День назад

I just had a quick question about summer festivals in Japan. I am looking to possible going to the Aomori Nebuta Matsuri and/or the Akita Kanto Matsuri this year. These festivals range a couple days in duration(3-4 days). I was wondering if there were pros and cons to going to visit the festivals towards the beginning, middle, or end days of their duration . Any input appreciated. Thank you for your time

@NinjaMonkeyguy День назад

I think the main issue is making it to the festivals, there I know that the last day of Aomori festival they release the floats but this might mean not making it to the one in Akita, in this occasion I’d try to prioritise efficiency.. oh and I 100% recommend you include morioka if you can!

@geralt7144 Месяц назад

The weirdest festival is always on the first Sunday of April. かなまら祭り😏

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

Indeed but .. quite low key in comparison from what I see

@towada1066 Месяц назад

私に言わせれば、... なんか,,... I do not think this is weird,... the festival is for the protection of women from disease. Always I hate danjiri and onbashira festivals ... people always get hurt and sometimes die ...

@metrix8155 Месяц назад

I'll be going to Japan in two weeks and will be staying there for a month. Had a question. I've heard that IC cards can be used throughout the whole country, but I'm wondering I you can also top them up anywhere. I will be starting with Tokyo so will get a suica, but I'll go to Hokkaido after that, and won't be bake in Tokyo until the very end. Can I top up the balance on my suica while in Hokkaido. Much appreciated ❤

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

Hey yes you shouldn’t have a problem topping up.. just be aware that sometimes some locations might have lines that are not compatible with Suica, if this is the case and you’re going to be using those bus or train lines you should ask to see if there is a day pass as this will make it much easier than fumbling with coins at every stop :)

@hamburgersmmmmmm 23 дня назад

@@user-yg1se5ug4k I had a great experience overall and if you have the chance to go, do it! I loved that there weren't a ton of tourists when I went. It is doable, but your days might feel longer because of the heat. (just not in a good way) Also, learn to use the underground and trains as much as possible (there are a few stations that are pretty underground extensive) Obviously if you're gonna be outside, stay hydrated and bring a rag for wiping your brow/neck.

So i get there in a week to backpack the country for 2 months any Tips?

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

meet locals, check out the local calendar and enjoy your trip!

@towada1066 Месяц назад

hmmm,... the Tanabata are called fukinagashi, they actually represent the threads of yarn Orihime uses to weave clothing. I do not know why Sendai celebrates in August, it should be July 7th. For packing, I think umbrella, tenugui, fan and especially ice necklace. I would never wear shorts in temple, especially during ceremony.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

it was originally based on the lunar calendar, the festival's traditional date falls about a month later than the Gregorian calendar's July 7th, often aligning it with August. So you could argue the other way round

@towada1066 Месяц назад

@@NinjaMonkeyguy hmmm,... I am not sure if Vega and Altair stars align in August ... 7th July is always easy to remember because it is my Osaka relative's birthday (!)

@spun_01 Месяц назад

My tip: Do not go hiking through the Nagano mountains wearing black at the start of August unless you want to suffer horse-fly bite induced blood loss. It was an unforgettable day, but we weren't planning on running 4km of it to get away from the horse flies in 35c heat.

Japan is interesting but a little over-rated thanks to endless RU-vid fans gushing endlessly about it. The Japanese are rules OBSESSED to the point of neuroses and not always friendly to tourists. Sell food on the street but get yelled at for eating the food on the street. Can't take photos of your family and friends in many areas, without getting scolded. It's interesting to visit once but that's about enough for me.

@NinjaMonkeyguy Месяц назад

I think that content creators are more obsessed with the rules than japanese locals personally but yep many rules , works for some travellers not for all.. japan is even better if you head out of the normal tourist trail
