A lot of people from Tokyo head to resorts like Karuizawa in Nagano to beat the summer heat. Do you have a favourite summer retreat?<br /><br />JohnJapan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-74993775377948214562012-07-04T08:53:04.320+09:002012-07-04T08:53:04.320+09:00Thanks Thomas, A lot of people don't like the ...Thanks Thomas, A lot of people don't like the summer in Japan because of the heat, but there is so much to do during the summer months.

For those who live in a big place like Tokyo, getting out into the country just like heading into a different world. The humidity and heat mostly disappear, and you can just relax walking around. And enjoying those onsens is great too!Rohan Gilletthttp://aroundtokyo.net/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-4929177080778698432012-07-04T07:53:20.002+09:002012-07-04T07:53:20.002+09:00Im so glad to be back so I can do those things aga...Im so glad to be back so I can do those things again.

Have you heard about people eating hot and spicy food in the summer to cool down? It is pretty much the same principle. Yes, you do need a lot of luck to climb Fuji-san and the weather is very changeable.<br /><br />JohnJapan-Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07970708785185874284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-3069292519768270832012-07-02T18:57:25.441+09:002012-07-02T18:57:25.441+09:00Thanks Lina, a great time to be in Japan if you li...Thanks Lina, a great time to be in Japan if you like it hot with lots of fun festivals and events.

We waited a few days, but there was a nother typhoon. We decided to climb it nevertheless and made it to the top, but no nice view as it was super cloudy and rainy. <br />Another friend had to stop halfway and go back down because of a dangerous thunderstorm approaching.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12578894556335508841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045859997804888278.post-77855932733038036272012-07-02T14:42:38.647+09:002012-07-02T14:42:38.647+09:00Summer sure is a fun time in Japan.
