      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

      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.

      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.

      I will visit japan 2 months in July and August with the main goal is followed these cultures festival , I did it before in 2016 -2017 now time to redo again . My favourite are the Osaka Matsuri and the Kyoto Gion matsuri .

      Japan is interesting but a little over-rated thanks to endless YouTube 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.

      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 ❤

      Thank you for making this video!! I see so many comments saying “avoid Japan in summer!” It’s the only time we can go, so I hope to be prepared!

      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.

      Hey. I travel mid august to end august to japan. Tokyo, kyoto….
      How can i imagine the heat?
      Im working in a bakery, theres 100% humidity and 30°.
      Is this a comparison?
      Im from germany, so the weather outside is more mid.
      Should i be afraid?
      Thats the only thing i got issues from this trip :/

      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

      Hi, I plan to visit Japan in the first two weeks of August. Since this is my first trip, I would want to see the usual cities. Is this a good idea? Will the heat be too unbearable to explore?

    25. @nobodynothing00000 on

      I'm not going back to next April. I want to go back last week Aug/first week of Sept. to catch the end of baseball season but there are so many other places I haven't visited yet

    27. @can_classicphysique on

      Appreciate your video! I just booked my first trip to Tokyo from July 27 to August 18. Got in total 21 nights. Do you think it’s feasible to travel Tokyo-Hokkaido-Osaka-Kyoto in those 21 days? 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 🥹

      Him saying you should plan in advance…
      Me watching this video one month before my visit (I don't even have my passport yet nor my flight or accomodation)

      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!
