It could get more people interested in moving to Japan which would help the low birth rate that has hurt Japan's population for many years now. It will bring a lot of money to Japan and lots of publicity. This will benefit the country if done right. I hope many people after this will consider moving here.

Listen I'm aware of the problems with the government and there are many laws I don't agree with. However comparing it to America it's not much different when it comes to problems in the government, in some ways the US is worse and in others Japan is worse. Both are great countries instead of complaining online I will stay positive and try to help the issues that we deal with.

I don't want you to eat food contaminated with radiation. Fukushima food is in circulation all over Japan. The government is even cheering for Fukushima food. I saw the Japanese interview and they said they wanted foreigners to come and eat Fukushima food. Cuz they are afraid to eat Fukushima food, so they recommend it to foreigners. Chernobyl's radioactive levels are still the same 30 years after the incident. It's been less than a decade since Fukushima happened.

It rains basically all year... a little dry in winter. But your average trip should include a rain day, and probably 1-3 other days with some weather but not all day. That's just how it goes. Tsuyu is more rain than you'd probably want and it's already summer so the heat is already ramping up and all that rain getting dumped isn't helping keep down the humidity.

If you're thinking of going to visit Japan for the Olympics, make sure you're going for the Japanese Olympics. If you just want to see an Olympics, wait for Paris 2024 or LA 2028. If you just want to see Japan, go some other time. There are some interesting things to see in Japan in late July and August. But don't expect to be able to do the normal things or see a normal Japan when there's a huge influx of foreign tourists crowding everything during some of the most brutal heat of the year. You can still make a good trip of it- but PLAN ACCORDINGLY.

@redfish337 5 жыл бұрын
Should be fine. You may get rain. It could even rain every day. But it shouldn't be tsuyu (rainy season). It's usually considered to start around a week into June, so even if it's early next year it'd probably just graze your trip at most. The distinction may be a bit hard to grasp- but pretty much in tsuyu the expectation is rain. In late May, the expectation is for sun and an occasional storm passing through. So to "lose" (you can do other stuff, but I know, no rain is better) 7+ days of of a trip in May to weather would be awful luck, while it's just the expectation in mid-June to mid-July.

August is hotter, but usually drier (barring typhoons). I wasn't there this summer but it seemed like rainy season dragged on this year pretty far into July. Late July and August still suck in terms of heat, but early July is probably the worst time to visit because it's still super humid AND rain is expected so nothing interesting is scheduled.

Best is mid to end of October or Mid March, i always visit during these months, and never even encounter a single rain or overflowing tourists, and Hotels are cheap too

It's fine, especially later October when the chance of a typhoon becomes almost nothing. It can start to be getting a little bit chilly, but overall it's a great time. Make sure you research the fall leaves schedule, particularly if you plan to be visiting places outside Tokyo.

I was in Tokyo recently, from July 3 to July 21. It was just raining all throughout. It was pretty depressing.

Right now, it has around 34°C top. I remember last year there were record temperatures up to 40°C. But what makes it really uncomfortable is the high humidity.

Temperature isn't the issue. The humidity is. Even when there's no visible sun and it's cloudy you're gonna sweat like a pig. It's just unbearable being outside
