Japan is really hot right now. 🥵🌞
You can still visit, but you’ll need to adjust your plans.
Try to do your outdoor sightseeing early, take a real break during the hottest part of the afternoon, and head back out after sunset.
Walking around Tokyo or Kyoto all day in this heat isn’t a good idea. It feels more like a challenge than a vacation.
Japan has had extreme heat and heatstroke alerts across the country, so this advice is timely and not just for attention.
Would the summer heat make you think twice about visiting Japan?
