According to Taiwanese media outlet China Times (中時新聞網), a post pointing out the “four most unsuitable months” for traveling to Japan gathered much sympathy from many netizens.
According to the article, Japan is a popular overseas travel destination for many Taiwanese, but the poster cited severe heat, the rainy season (tsuyu), and typhoons as reasons, commenting, “June, July, August, and September are the most unsuitable months for traveling to Japan.” They also said, “For the past few years, I have been going to Japan avoiding these four months. Even without rain or typhoons, walking outside makes the heat unbearable.”
In response to this post, many netizens showed their sympathy with comments such as, “I went to Japan last August, but on the day of departure, a typhoon hit and my flight was delayed by one day. Upon arrival, it was 35-36 degrees Celsius every day, and after returning to Taiwan, I decided, ‘I will not go to Japan in midsummer,’” and “July to September is really tough; it feels more unpleasant than Taipei or Bangkok.”
On the other hand, voices of lament were raised from many parents saying, “Families with children have no choice but to go during this period,” and there were also differing opinions such as, “From June to early July is the off-season for tourism, and the climate is comfortable,” “Japanese white peaches are in season from June to September,” and “Large-scale fireworks festivals in Japan are mainly held during this period. Even if it’s hot, people visit Japan for a special travel experience.” (Translation and editing by Noya)
