Why You Should Not Visit Japan in Summer

[@wrydiculouslionel]

I came here last month and the weather was a rude awakening for me. The combinis were making bank out of the sheer amount of drinks I bought from them hourly.

[@ask4982]

I’m from Norway and visited from july to august. I actually liked the heat, it made me feel laid back! Also, so much green and beautiful scenery!

[@szestheday]

This is wonderful to watch from outside of Japan. makes me feel like going back soon. Stay safe from the typhoon, Ghib! enjoy your time back in japan

[@TheLostOjisan]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@naokof4029]

Ghib san, Thanks for showing downtown Osaka😋👍暑い中お疲れ様でした

[@joanlim5156]

Japan is so clean.

[@haruhi7745]

Welcome Back. So nice Vlog. So relaxing to watch your video. 😌👍🌷💙🤍

[@EVL-xj5vc]

Can see fireworks in summer, and some other festivals. There are also summer desserts, fruits like peaches, cold noodles and soup and if im not wrong it's also uni / sea urchin season.

[@sherwinclarencego1933]

August-September time and maybe even July are always a bad time to visit Japan. Its very hot and humid and these are the months where there are a lot of typhoons that also visit Japan. October 3rd week and beyond is good.

[@Silvrstarr]

Singaporean here. totally agree on the summer heat in Japan. Visited Japan once during summer, never wanted to again.

[@CausticCow]

9:02 I tried laser facial hair removal before too. But it was too painful for me too. You might want to give Japan IPL Express a try, it’s a lot cheaper and also a lot less painful. And it worked! No more shaving.

[@MrBukka]

Hi Ghib, you can try using Nivea Men Replenishing Post Shave Balm for your post shaving irritation. It is gentle and soothing. I have a similar issue and it worked well for me 😊

[@sylviad476]

I enjoyed this video very much!Thank u.

[@heythave]

The heat in Phoenix (114 Fahrenheit) does not compare to a 95 degree heat in Tokyo. In Tokyo, you sweat in places that you didn’t know you can sweat.

[@standin.excaliblur7510]

i have not been in climate desert. from your experience, is desert climate (arizona) much comfortable than the tropical humid climate (florida or southeast asia) when both are in same temperature?

[@heythave]

@@standin.excaliblur7510 yes.

[@mitsushiki5575]

あまり暑さを強調してネガティブしないほうがいいですよ。 それよりも、夏の楽しみとかを教えてあげてください。 じゃないと、ただでさえ多い春や秋に集中するとそのシーズンだけさらに激混みなるから凄く大変になるんじゃないですかね。 理想は、一年間通して変わらないくらいの観光客がくるのがいいと思います。

[@YanBean]

Will Osaka be as hot from mid October?

[@mrsvchong]

I was just back from Kyushu about 2 weeks ago. Really cannot tahan the heat!! You are right.... Even as a Singaporean, I cannot tahan the heat. It was 39 degrees Celsius! OMG... Suddenly felt SG is so cooling. Hahaha... 😂

[@ngkokwei6114]

I was Hakone in May this year and the temperature on the mountain was 8 only Degrees. I really did not expect that but it was nice.

[@TheLostOjisan]

Glad to hear! May isn't too bad, June-Aug is brutal!

[@samgoh8596]

Listen to Ojisan when he said Osaka is very hot now. I was there a week ago and in Nagoya at the beginning of Aug. The heat in Japan is at a whole different level as compare to Singapore. I've heard tourists complaining and regretting going to Japan now especially those bringing the elderly and young children. You are as good as torturing them which they will in turn torture you back😂. After all, it's not called a heatwave for no reason.

[@heythave]

Yes, it’s pretty hot. We were waiting in line for about 10 minutes for a seat at Mutekiya (ramen), and I was literally showering in my own sweat.

[@songtreemusicandwellness]

Love your videos as always. Have you ever shared in your videos how you ended up in Singapore?

[@toni-kaku]

I went to shin umeda shokudogai on your recommendation. Thanks i had some nice oden. The building was really hard to find though, i needed help from a kind stranger.

[@TheLostOjisan]

Great to hear!

[@heythave]

Is this the closed takoyaki place?

[@toni-kaku]

@@heythave yeah in the same complex

[@RandomJtv]

Japan in August is NASTY. I am never doing that again. I was not prepared for the humidity. If it wasn’t for the trains being air-conditioned, I woulda been collapsing every single day.

[@meriamapalit4063]

I lived and worked in Japan (Kobe) for almost a decade. I'm from the Philippines, a tropical country. Yet, I couldn't take the humidity during summers in Japan. I usually try not to go outdoors during midday.

[@phil488pista9]

Is it still hot and humid in mid-October?

[@akadno]

It’s usually ok by then.

[@sandchewer3108]

Hi Ghib, thanks for showing Osaka. I am going Osaka with my family this Winter December for Christmas! I’m Singaporean and last year spring we were in Osaka and autumn in Tokyo. So this year we are going Osaka again for winter holidays.

Hi Ghib! Can I ask how you managed to film so openly? Japan seems to be really strict on not taking photos/videos of strangers now. I was at an Aeon taking video of the food on my phone when an irritated staff came over to force me to delete my video because there were other people around 🤔🤔

[@GTOnIzuka]

I was in Osaka in July... the heat and humidity are nuts! Singapore got no fight in this... I wore a cap thought it would make it better, instead I got giddy, so screw the cap...

I’ve lived in Japan for many years and mid-September is still often unbearable. Temperatures of 33-34 degrees are forecast during the next week and it’s still incredibly humid. I tell my friends not to visit until at least October.

Hi, been watching your channel from Canada in preparation for our trip to Japan. We just left Osaka for Kyoto 30th Aug. We were briefly in the same city! Yes, the heat in Osaka is quite unbearable! Keeping fingers crossed that Typhoon 10 will not hit too badly!

[@TheLostOjisan]

I can imagine the weather is unbearable for people from Canada. Stay safe and enjoy your trip!

[@jon8697]

I know what? U can actually start a small tour to japan for singaporean. Start small maybe 10pax. Each pax u earn 500. U esrn 5k a month. For 7 days. Plan itinerary for osaka and tokyo. Or osaka nara. Check if its legal to do it. I think small tour is quite cool. No youtuber do that before.

[@oNuKuBo]

Thanks for the information. There were days that surpass 38-39° in Bangkok but even if it's that hot in Thailand, I will never dare to visit Japan in summer. 😅 My trip would be no fun with that hot weather.

A lot of restaurants will close but a lot will still open as well. Locals like to shop on the day after New Year (2nd Jan), so most malls should be open!

oh yea, know what you mean. Was there in early september last year in gunma/niigata and even in these less crowded places was perspiring the moment you step out in the morning. Alrite, that's a cue to skip honshu and go to Hokkaido!

[@mkngpauline]

We are going to Kyushu in late Sep, will the weather cool down and typhoon over?

[@TheLostOjisan]

Weather should be much better and typhoons may still come, but should be much less probable. Enjoy your trip!

[@mkngpauline]

@@TheLostOjisan thank you for your reply. As this is my first holiday trip to Kyushu, I know there are farms that take visitors from the green eco websites, I have written to them and also the hosts themselves to want to make a booking, but I have not receive any reply from them so far. Do you know what is the problem, Can I only book them in Japan itself?

I should've watched this video as I went there just 2 days after this video was uploaded. Just after the typhoon passed. So hot, vending machines making good money from me. Amazed at how some japanese still don lavish thick clothing under such a hot weather. Even saw a couple like that at the Minoo Park trail.

[@da_frenchie_code3700]

Hi 👋 I was just wondering if the typhoon starting now. Then would it be over by sep14 to the end of September or it can just happen anytime in Japan¿

[@TheLostOjisan]

Typhoon season is usually June-mid Sept, but can happen in Oct too, but should be less probable. North region like Hokkaido usually never gets affected. Enjoy your trip!

[@markshen3280]

Ojhib OJISAN, since the Typhoon 🌀 🌪️🌪️💨💨🌬️🌬️is at the south of Japan 🇯🇵, tourists can still visit at least to HOKKAIDO where there won’t be much affected areas by the typhoon anyways.

Okay, its the combination of things that you will never do in ASEAN. You don't walk that much, you go with car or taxi in ASEAN. And probably typhoon amps up the humidity too

I am still in the middle of my trip which started on 12/8 and ending 24/9. We drove in Tottori then in Kyushu (which we cut the road trip short in Kagoshima and took Shinkansen to HAKATA just 1 day before SHANSHAN landed Kagoshima). We did not get to visit Ibusuki and Miyazaki as planned and also needed to adjust our travel itinerary in Shikoku as SHANSHAN makes her way to the island. But we will be making our way to Shikoku on 3/9 to start our 7 day road trip. So looking forward to it. I think driving not only bring us to places we never get to visit on the train and shield us from the heat moray of the time

@@johnkoh9362except on average they are dressed way better. he isn't even in the 'business district' of japan, nor are the in the video people necessarily dressed to go work in the finance sector like the singaporeans you are referencing.

[@vonwaq]

@@kageyamareijikun what an insanely flawed reasonining. many singaporeans find malls' aircon way too cold as well. blaming it on genetics is so disingenuous when comparing to regional neighbours like vietnam or our direct ancestors, the chinese who also dress better on average. however, it is also inaccurate to use an umbrella term like laziness, while there are dozens of reasons to yap about, it can be summarized into culture shaped by history. up until a few decades ago singapore was focused on developing from a 3rd world country to what it is today. people focused on pragmaticality and putting food in our mouths instead of luxury aspects of life like aesthetics and fashion. every other street, there will be shops selling clothing for both male and females in japan, even outside of major cities, and its cyclical. when there are more people interested in clothes, it makes the fashion industry thrive. more people would want to enter the industry and open more shops since its actually profitable. when the industry grows, more people talk about it, more people become interested. the cycle repeats singapore just does not have many clothing stores, especially for males. when you have plenty of stores selling decently designed clothing, even lazy people can end up looking good because they end up getting clothes that look good even if picked haphazardly.

[@SgForeverSg]

lol what’s there not to admit? That’s the 1 thing we are known for as tourists too but that has improved through the years. It’s hot and Singapore is like 1 big neighbourhood for us. Sometimes I’m dressed for the market then someone says let’s go to town and I’m in shorts!
