I visited last August and made the mistake of not bringing shorts. It was hoooot AF!!
-
So I am wondering if summer is so hot, what do business people wear during that season? Still suits?
-
can't wait to visit Japan later this year. thank you for sharing.

Holy shit you said "blubber butts" with such a straight face and then continued to give a rundown of the natural environmental need for blubber in the wild without smiling. Good show
-
Just a bit curious about the weather and the trees still having leaves. Was this filmed close to being uploaded?
-
Your brain waves are on point. Lol

I love the misting type rain in my area, Kanagawa-ken. Does remind me of Ft Lauderdale which is where I am from. Also you are spot on about heating up. As soon as I go in anywhere I start burning up. Train, HardOff, etc.

When I went in September for my student exchange coming from winter in Australia to Summer In nagoya... I felt like the country was trying kill me It was so humid I would throw up in the mornings because of rapid change of temperature.
But that's was also because of the fact that my room was a constant 21 degrees or lower. -
I live in Tokyo and i'm dying in the summer. I would not survive anymore south i think. Like Osaka,Nagoya or even futher down. I'm from Sweden so i'm used to cold wheater not 40+celcius with 90% humidity. :P

So, with winters I want to be like I am here in Utah. Utah snows and is REALLY cold and such. I do have to wear a coat with a t-shirt under it. I do get cold really fast myself. I somehow got that weird gene from my mom. Lovely. I am okay with cold. The heat there I've learned that if you have a handkerchief or "sweat mop" with you and you wipe off your sweat with it you'll cool down with it. I'm okay with the heat, I was born in California and moved up to Utah (another hot state) when I was 11. So I'm good there. The temp here is 6° C and it's Dec right now.
I think I'm going to have to wear dresses there in Japan when I do move there. Dresses are really nice for cooling down the legs.
I'm more worried about my husband. He is a big guy, I mean big. He is losing the weight just needs to do more. I'm a little heavy myself, you'll never guess it from looking at me. Of course that is what everyone says to me. =P
Keep these great tips up! I do want to live in Osaka! I google map it and all of Japan and read up on Osaka and everywhere and fell in love with Osaka! :)
Thanks for the share! -
Haha, yeah I'm in Sapporo (Hokkaido) and it's the complete opposite of what you said! Hokkaido has long winters and short summers. The summer is cool most of the time but some days it gets really hot. Right now it's snowing here and it get's sooooo cold! Actually the first snowfall was in mid-November which is kinda weird for Hokkaido because snow usually starts in December. The one thing though is that it's the same here with the department stores! Oh my gosh they do not think about people's body heat and they do turn it up full blast. It get's so hot inside I just wanna go back outside where it's cold.

Thanks for the info. This settled my debate on whether to bring my winter coat when I head over end of December.

Nasty? Winter is nine months long, and the temp. drops to 30* F below zero, that's sixty two degrees below freezing. I believe hell is cold, not hot.

I'm from Scotland and spent a few months in southern Kyushu (Amami islands) during summer and I literally couldn't wear a t-shirt for more than 10minutes before it was clinging. Not long after a shower I'd look like I hadn't bothered drying myself because my back was like a waterfall, no exaggeration, it was like I'd poured a jug of water over my head. I'm thin and not normally a sweater so I'm slightly freaked about how to handle this when I'm doing the ALT thing next year lol. I expect to be changing shirts after every single class.
O and for comparison, I also spent time in 105-110f/40c+ heat in Arizona and it wasn't nearly as bad. -
Lol yeah I'm from central Canada and mainland Japan just would feel utterly hot to me at all time. I visited in December-January and it felt like it was about 12-15*C during the day. I walked around Tokyo in my t-shirt because I had left -20*C weather in Canada, so it felt like a balmy vacation. I am thin though haha I wasn't covered in blubber so that wasn't why I was sweating, I just wasn't acclimated. The Japanese were walking around bundled up and staring at me, I looked like a crazy gaijin lol. It got pretty chilly at night though, definitely had my fall jacket and scarf on when heading home.

I can't speak of Osaka, since I haven't been there, but I can speak of Funabashi, Chiba. I have yet to experience a summer in Japan, but I know winter can be harsh.
Last year I stayed in an area called Takidaicho and the winter there at the time was so cold, my heater actually started spewing cold air instead of hot, rendering it useless, so I would just pile towels and heavy clothing on top on my futon to stay warm.
But, just as Scott says, if you go out anywhere, the shops are always ludicrously warm, so I would have to carefully plan what to wear depending on what I was doing that day, in case I needed to take off a few layers.
The norm ended up being a spaghetti strap top, under a t-shirt (or skivvy) and a non-heavy jacket, which depending on where I went and for how long I was there, most of the time I would just end up walking around in the spaghetti strap top, and either putting the jacket in my bag, or carrying it. -
People from Osaka very strongly insist that Osaka is west Japan. There seems to be an East West rivalry.

Until 0:23 it looks like you'r walking on a square somewhere in europe.
