This summer, "Geshi", the longest day of the year

2019年 06月22日


It is today, which is the longest day of the year.
The heat of the east part of Japan exceeds gerarally 30 degrees. We record even 41 degrees in Gunma prefecture (north-west of Tokyo) in 2018!
We often see the people walking with parasols to protect from the sunshine or sometimes using the normal umbrellas.

The summer is very hot and humid in Japan, so please do not forget to bring your fan before you go out (sometimes you will have the chance to get is a free fan of sales promotion in the streets). The Japanese people bring them also a mini towel for the sweat. But don't worry, there are many jidohanbaiki, the vending machines where you find colld drinks!
