Japanese Culture, June in Japan, What I Like About Japan, A lady walking through a grove of ajisai flowers.

June in Japan is when things just begin to get hot… And then the rainy season starts and it cools down and becomes incredibly humid. I mean wet sauna level humid. But there are still plenty of fun holidays and events to keep things ineresting ;-D You just have to remember to bring an umbrella.

About the Author

I have lived and worked with my family in Japan since 2005. For many years I have been interested in the very practical and creative side of Japanese culture. In my free time I travel around, enjoy hiking in the countryside and cities, and just generally seeing and doing new things. This blog is primarily a way for me to focus my energies and record and teach others about what I have learned by experience constructively. I am interested in urban development, and sustainable micro-economics, especially home-economics, and practical things everyday families can do to survive and thrive through these changing times.
