(How to) Survive Tokyo’s Summer Heat in the Coolest Place - Shinjuku?

Tokyo is one of the hottest cities in the world in summer, and I’m not talking about temperature. Arizona and the Sahara are a dry heat. I’m talking about a sauna! And steam oven! ... and there a secret place to stay cool 😎 and it starts in Shinjuku. The next stream: • LIVE - A Shinjuku Summ... | Where is Shinjuku?
goo.gl/maps/VsvuoXAJxfz yup - a department store!

[@jase276]

I love your lil mini adventures with Peter! After seeing how great the synergy and atmosphere is between you two, it just wouldn't feel right to see a livestream, besides the endangered midnight snack runs, without the duo.

[@Boomdizzle99]

Love love love that Shinjuku GODZILLA FREE Wifi! Hear its RAWR and see your signal RISE like never before!!! 🤣

[@Hello_katsu]

Good advice!

[@Screaming.Monkey]

Yeah, here in Houston we often roll our eyes when we hear about the "heat waves" in other parts of the country... Around July & August we typically have highs of 98°F, with an overnight low of 78°F, and about 85% humidity! 😥

[@HICARO]

I remember being so hot in Tokyo! I went to the Sky Tree mall and the seating areas in the mall were still hot as can be so I would walk around and stop when I found a vent blowing cool air. Im sure i looked ridiculous but I really didn’t care it was horribly hot. Japan is still awesome though!

[@Screamingtut]

It hit 108 F in Redding, CA on Saturday when I was there. it is 95 now in Dunsmuir, CA we are near Mt. Shasta CA. 36 C is 96.8 F

[@MrApaHotel]

暑いですね。😅 This year you should do a video where you both try out some new high tech clothes that should cool your body (I heard there is such clothes in japan).

[@MrApaHotel]

I'm coming to Tokyo on Monday with my kids (first time) あついですね 🌞🔥😅

[@ph11p3540]

Temperature is one thing but they are currently experiencing sky high humidity so you can sweat properly and makes AC units work twice as hard. They are not roasting down there. They are getting hard boiled.

[@studiokadaver]

Wow a NAMCO truck!

[@juneseongmin]

Isetan in Malaysia does that too during opening and closing

[@CFonly]

Our first japan trip was in august 2014 haha /D it was like sauna all day long :D And then we traveled from tokyo to kyoto and it get even worser /D haha but yeah still good memories! - but in germany its also a really really really hot summer (since may :o). I think its the side effect of the global warming..

[@zam023]

@Peter, that is a nice looking fan. Where did you get it? @John, if I am not mistaken, I heard in Japan there are cool pads you can put under your shirt to cool down. In reverse, in winter they have heat pads.

[@tajapan]

or move to Hokkaido for 2 months

[@Miamiguy2000]

Hi John! I got a question. What is the brand name of the selfie stick you use? Thanks

[@jesica1907]

You must your T-shirt put in cold water and wring out and put on its the old way of a air condition by a natural way 100% sweat free for 4-6 hours its depends on you when you go out its dry earlier

[@ReelLife97]

I'm thinking of wearing airfan vest and air neck fan.

[@MrSatyre1]

Great stuff as always, but you really need to get yourself a phone whose selfie camera doesn't reverse the picture!

[@unitedamericans8587]

Cool off in Osamu Tezuka museum and film your experience there!!!

[@longtuyetuong4360]

Could you please add standard English subtitle, not automatic one? I wanna hear exactly what you say, cuz I am learning EL. Thank you so much!

[@MrApaHotel]

If Japanese sweat less (genetically) how do they then get rid of body heat? Or are Japanese more prone to have heat exhaustion? Or is it that they are smaller and weigh less that makes them produce less body heat to dissipate?

[@namitajimmy6737]

One correction the highest temperature recorded in delhi was 48°C however during summer especially during June with increased humidity it feels like 50°C

[@Kiaska]

ok that... If it is this warm there right now, what about September to October, what awaits one normally there in Tokyo (or Japan in general) ? ._. (and here we think it is warm in germany with 30°C xD)

[@way650919]

I think john is going to teach Peter the right way made the KZbin videos.

[@onlyinjapanGO]

😂 he was holding the gimbal weird but we all have our own styles ;)

[@8989shopper]

Is June okay to visit Japan tokyo? Not too much rain??

[@MatrixDiscovery]

It's a heat wave all over Europe and North America too.

[@shirishpanwalkar]

Had been to Tokyo in the later half of May and it was raining!

[@Aiken47]

You have flavoured shaved ice in Japan, a bit like Slurpies

[@atranas6018]

In Malaysia is like that all year long

[@gabethet8458]

John needs a straw hat.

[@miumau7144]

it's really hot in Finland too atm.. 30 degrees for several days already and no end in sight. I believe that it is worse in japan but i just wanted to complain too :DD

[@miumau7144]

also this kind of weather is really an exception in finnish summer heh

[@miumau7144]

TheGalactica2001 yeah that would seem logical but i guess it doesn't work that way:D

[@MrLockdown123]

So Tokyo will experience the same hot until August? 40'C is quite hot compared to Equator countries

[@lilribbit]

I do this in Las Vegas on the strip. All the casinos leave their doors open.

[@bevin9736]

Some places in iraq its 50 degrees C, go there and see if tokyo really is that bad

[@davide.s.9880]

Here is a simple math formula that will get you close to the temp. You should be able to do it in your head without counting fingers and toes. Start with 40 C OK to figure out the fahrenheit temp. Take the C which is 40 now double that so now you have 80 Then add 30 you end up with 110 F. OK it' off by a couple but close enough. It works the other way around . It was 90 F here today so take away 30 you have 60 cut that in half you have 30 C that is close enough right?

[@Grifin08]

Oh yes. I wake up and I have in my room +31

[@ccarey3574]

I will be there on Sun 22nd :)

[@astroboy3507]

ATSUI!!!!!!!!! 40!!!! John Peters got the white colour on!!!!!! 😬 Today Middle of winter 22 nice in Sydney now today!!!! Your like me I love my cap!!!!

[@princessvanessa3956]

astroboy3507 I kno right..I'm also in Sydney we had a few warmer days a few weeks ago. I'm still wearing 4 layers tho lol. My home isn't North facing, cold indoors 😣❄love those random warm days in middle of winter😊🔥

[@astroboy3507]

Princess Vanessa yes cant wait for spring 6 weeks and counting!!! ✌

[@japankofun]

He might want to try a cap with the mesh back section which is far more breathable than that wool thing he wears ! I'm sweating just watching him wear that in that weather.

[@astroboy3507]

Japan Kofun 古墳 hey there your movin to japan soon!!! ?

[@japankofun]

astroboy3507 - oh you remembered that, I'm impressed. Yep, but now I'm scared seeing the guys sweating away there haha. Just joking, it's not like our summers here are mild and pleasant by any means either, so I'll survive it. But yeah, wife is there already, I'll be there in 2 or 3 months (once I sort all my stuff out).

[@lucius898]

An Instant-Read Thermometer would be great next you do this.

[@grassmanBoca]

John if you take that wool hat off it might not be so hot

[@antediluvianclockwork9769]

Hiding a lack of hair.

[@coolrottie2565]

😂 I did the same 4 years ago in Tokyo.

[@heartthrobheart6288]

So how’s the weather now in Tokyo ? Is it hot? Does it get cooler in mid August?

[@heartthrobheart6288]

@@Jeffroadtodaytona24 thanks . Really appreciate it !

[@jsy92]

Stop wearing a winter hat, that might help lol

[@mitchbauzoniran2385]

Hi John, how hot it is out there in August? We're going out there on August!!!

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Very hot! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYbNdJh6mbqUl7s

[@theotang681]

next time you are in the states try to get some merino wool t shirts. say no to cotton. i work in the sweltering heat each day and i wear a merino shirt underneath my work shirt in the 40 degrees plus weather, that's in celsius, and i am cool and the sweat just wicks away from your body and no stains on the shirt at all. wool is like a thermostat and wool does not smell.

[@casinominiz]

Hot and humid concrete jungle? Come and feel it in Hong Kong. We have tourists from Kenya complaining that it feels even hotter than Africa!

[@bismarck9938]

AL lol

[@poogledyblue]

Hahaha🤣

[@uwuloluwu]

easy go in October or April lol

[@MrApaHotel]

It would be really nice if you could un-mirror the selfie camera :-)

[@MrApaHotel]

Is it cool down in the metro?

[@purberri]

Hey John wearing a hat constantly actually speeds up balding

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Really? (Hat mysteriously disappears from videos 😂) the older I get, the less I care about it.

[@distortedkid123]

I was looking at the weather for Tokyo right now and it's gonna be 90 deg f at 79 deg f dew point... No thanks, I'd rather be in dry 100 degree weather here in CA lol

[@ricodemarco]

why is everything backwards when you are walking but readable when you are purposely videoing something?

[@xcalibertrekker6693]

Don't know about the rest of Americans but we were taught both systems of measurement and how to convert F to C.

[@vincekimura3937]

hawaii is 75 degrees. walk over to robots.. do people still go to the show in this heat?

[@purberri]

It’s a marketing ploy keeping the doors open tempts people to come in

[@pabitramallick7783]

in india its more hot than japan john is right its about 40 to even 50 c

[@retrogameroom9019]

Daddy issues.....I'll smack him around for you.....or send a geisha.....your buddy reminds me of a young JCVD

I miss Shinjuku station T,T will come back next year maybe for 6 months if possible

[@robertog3148]

White deflects heat, black absorbs heat

[@Screamingtut]

40 C is 104 F & 39 C is 102.2 F

[@Nezumi66]

Yes; thinking of the ''Ice-cream'' episode... What's happened to Aoi? (she was/is very cute :3 )

[@andrewhurwitz8375]

I wish you can mic Peter.

[@waqar88]

Shinjuku station is a city within a city

[@gilwe]

So this was in mid-July?

[@gumelargungun8774]

Come to Jakarta John, and you Will find something hotter than Tokyo 😂

[@epicdabz6159]

Black makes you hot it absorbs heat...

[@Talkofthetown321]

Why dont people wear tank tops

[@cedardryad]

i just came back from Japan last week and my god it was soooooooo humid. I live in New England and it's super humid here as well, during the summer, but oh god. Within 30 minutes of standing in line in Ueno Zoo I was soaked from head to toe.

[@jjshinobi]

What's OIOI ? And how do you pronounce it?

[@user-fu2oj5ex1l]

J Jeung it’s one of department stores , and it’s called ‘Marui’

[@gracefr7887]

Well, that's why I want to spend my summers in Okinawa or any, of the many, beautiful Japanese beaches!

[@nadroky]

LoL..you've clearly not been to Dubai at this point, where we easily hit 50°C ... ...and don't even get me started on Humidity!

[@wolfking2444]

Nadroky yeah Dubai is hot I can tell you that since I lived in Dubai for 3 months but it is not that different from japan actually , as the humidity is crazy in japan as well it easily reaches to 70-80 percent

[@ItzMeOB]

How hot is it in Sahara?

[@onlyinjapanGO]

Marie it’s a dry heat. I remember the nights being kind of chilly. Big swings in temperature when I was in Morocco back in 2002. Spent 48 hours out there.

[@DARK__KING]

come to saudi you will see what hot means last year it got to 60c 140f

[@namitajimmy6737]

Lmao the highest temperature recorded on earth was 56.4°C

[@DARK__KING]

@@namitajimmy6737 come and see if it's 54 is the highest The temperature you see in the websites is not accurate

[@banzaibobA7V]

I loathe summer. We also have 40 to 45 C on average here (Worcester, South Africa). Utter misery.

[@jecksonng]

Try singapore

[@daffygrey]

Dampen your ear lobes. It feels cooler when you're moving.

[@MrApaHotel]

How can the Japanese walk around in the heat wearing long pants and long sleeve shirts and no sweaty clothes? :-P

[@venaamoris5019]

Nasse ナッセ Sweden they wear natural cottons and linen a lot. Natural fabric are super breathable. It absorbs the sweat very well and long and loose fabric like this help prevent the burn and getting tan. Like desert wear where everything is full length

[@MrApaHotel]

I had 60% cotton with 40% polyester (looked in the shirts I had) :-( It was really hot there two weeks ago when I was there.

[@luana-leecano8029]

Wear a air conditioning hat. Use a misters, they come with a fan.

Humidity is nothing you guys are outside in it,try walking/standing in 110-degrees with the SUN,bearing down on you,You’ll pass out.

[@ScibyTravels]

Nah, I'm from central queensland, lived through 45'c summers... Japan's summer and humidity are brutal. Dry heat is tolerable, humidity holds the heat against you.

[@AppleSlipper]

Went to Year 9 school camp in inner-Queensland in Spring, 2014, and the maximum termperature at the time was 41 degrees Celcius.

[@harshitkaushik5994]

Come to Delhi, and you will know what Heat and Sun is😂😂😂😂

[@jk-qt1mz]

Harshit Kaushik it’s different, japan is too sticky hot... your sweat feel like a glue in your body>

[@harshitkaushik5994]

john k I agree on the sticky part bro as Japan is like a big Island completely surrounded by sea, and I have experienced that kind of Humid and hot climate in Mumbai(India) as well.

[@namitajimmy6737]

Actually delhi too experiences hot humid conditions during June it's 37°C but feels like 49 or 50°C

[@shhhhh967]

Tokyo is not hottest in the world , learn and talk first peter dude

[@Drunkendzombie]

Japan is very wasteful, in the winter they got plastic bags for umbrellas in front of every store, summertime ac is blasting all day with doors wide open. Everything is wrapped in plastic

[@lingchie07]

Drunkend Zombie they are good at recycling tho
