So something happened when the temperatures hit over 100F (38C) with this high humidity … tourists stayed in the hotel! Attractions are more available than usual. Interesting. #overtourism #kyoto
I always wondered if the majority of the locals in Tokyo are used to this heat? I mean I've seen some people suffer while sweating in the metro and it was in september 😅
Aloha my brother. I can fully understand what you're experiencing with the heat and humidity there. Oahu has had its share of very hot summers but as you know we have many beaches you can go to and we do have pretty decent tradewinds to help cool things down. But still it does get hot. Consider coming to Oahu for the summer. Just let Brandy and I know when. We'll be ready for you! 😊🤙
Thank you John ! This was super useful information! About Japan vs Florida heat.. Florida when it’s in the 90s with 80/90% humidity.. it gets pretty darn hot.. In the summer I just woke up earlier, got everything done by 11am..then stayed in the AC until late afternoon, usually after the afternoon thunderstorm and rain.. Sounds like you’re describing something a bit fiercer..I’m going to go with some degree of radiant heat.. All the cement, buildings, something..but it sure sounds like you’re describing an added radiant heat factor.. Im not a weather girl..so I’ll have to ask my weather buddies 😊 Stay cool! High fives from our new home in Wyoming! It’s hot here too..90s..but there’s zero humidity 😉 so it’s not bad at all 😊❤
It’s hot, but doable. Electrolytes, umbrellas, and lots of breaks. Head up to the mountains too , and lastly keep your video free of politics, your comments about US candidates make you sound uninformed.
I just got back to Texas from being in Japan for 2+ weeks. I had several new bills go through my hands during that time. It was pretty cool to see.
Yes, it's hot & humid there but honestly, not worse than Houston, Texas. The big difference is that in Japan you are outside more. Here in Houston, we stay inside as much as possible. We aren't walking outside as much as Japanese (walking to and from trains and such).
I saw soooo many people with the battery run hand fans. I struggled to stay hydrated while I was there. I drank hydration drinks and lots of vitamin supplemented drinks. I'm not sure if it was MSG in foods giving me dry mouth and constant feeling of needing to drink something. 🤷🏼♀️ Still, I only had one day that I felt affected by the heat (headache and slight nausea) and that was in Osaka when I had been outside more that day.
The US economy has always effected/messed with the economies of other countries. When you said " there's talk of a recession in the US", I was wondering: "What?! They have no recession over there? NZ has had one for years driven by the drop of the USD!". NZD$1 = USD$ 0.59c NZD$1 = 88 Yen
I cannot see you in Australia drinking cold beer in the heat then! The #1 advice used to be "Don't visit Japan in Summer." I'm assuming people lost their brains in the pandemic.
The tourist fuss over the new bills is really funny. I'm guessing the US has not changed its bills for decades?
nothing wrong with your choice to support which ever side in the election. his main problem is his economic and social policies that are very dangerous. i know you dont live in usa but its a thing those who do to worry about more. he can really upset the global economic balance with his policies thus making things more extensive for those in USA as a result. his mental capacity leaves alot to be desired..

I think us visiting in October was a smart move.

Just wondering…do most Japanese households have air conditioning? How about electricity outages due to everyone using AC? It happens in LA area.
I got my yen at the right time for my November trip. If I got it now I would have 30,000yen less to spend. 😊
It's 20 degrees here in the UK and fairly humid. My Anglo Saxon blood can't take it, I'm designed for wind, rain and snow.
coming from Florida, if it's worse than FL, that's going to be a challenge. going to Japan in June and July 2025.

All the subways, trains and shinkansen generate a ton of heat… Japan's electrification contributes to the heat.
In my bucket list to take one of those river cruises.
coming in mid september… hoping it starts to cool down by then. have visited japan before in may and october, temperatures are just right!

Thanks for the great videos. 👍
Doesn't seem to be too many people wearing hats .
With more SEA workers in Japan. Word is spreading how hot Japan really is. Before foreigners just thought Japanese were exaggerating
