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.

Just finished my summer trip and you can work around the heat! Tokyo is indeed hot and humid but I woke up early in the morning to walk around, went back to the hotel around 2.00pm for a nap and then back out around 5.30/6.00pm. Or do indoor activities (you can't get enough of Don Qui). Also did a Tohoku roadtrip where the weather was a little cooler, although with more rain. Must go places: Dewa Sanzan, Ginzan Onsen, Tsurunoyu Onsen and Jodogahama Beach!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My idea would be to stay a few days in Tokyo, then go to the North to catch the summer festivals and then fly down to Osaka / Kyoto and finally back to Tokyo 🥹

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
@NinjaMonkeyguy 4 месяца 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!

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
@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев 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 :)

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.

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
@NinjaMonkeyguy 5 месяцев 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

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
