We've just past the rainy season here in Japan, which means that summer has finally arrived! Summer in the Kansai region can be pretty intense for visitors and locals alike; many people don't realize that the city sits on the same latitude as Los Angeles.
Although Osaka can get quite chilly in the winter or even springtime, its summers are always hot and humid. The heat feels distinctly tropical in nature, and will rise to around the mid-30's Celsius for many days on end.
There are a few items that you should always have on you during the summer months. These include a folding fan, a small towel, a hat and a bottled drink.
Fortunately, every business, store, and train car will blast their air conditioning for your benefit. So you should never be too far from a place that offers cool relief. Just keep in mind, especially if you're not used to such heat and humidity, that sometimes it's best to stay indoors during the hottest days of summer!
