Unbelievably warm, in fact \u2013 and with an atmosphere so humid that you can almost swim in it.<\/p>\n<p>Now don\u2019t get me wrong &#8211; summer is a great time to visit Japan. Not only are there fewer crowds, but it has a whole plethora of its own unique attractions \u2013 from delicious summer foods and crazy ice cream flavours to beautiful beaches, fantastic scuba diving, amazing hiking opportunities, and some really awesome summer festivals. (If you need any more convincing, you can read our <strong>10 reasons to visit Japan in the summer<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/2015\/03\/13\/10-reasons-to-visit-japan-in-the-summer\/\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s no getting away from the fact that it\u2019s bloody boiling \u2013 and this can take some visitors by surprise, even if they have had a peep at the weather forecast before they travel. Sunburn isn\u2019t the only danger \u2013 heatstroke is a real issue for those who fail to prepare adequately for the weather, and every year Japan sees a number of heat-related deaths and hospitalisations.<\/p>\n<p>If you prepare correctly, however, there\u2019s absolutely no reason why summer in Japan can\u2019t be a thoroughly enjoyable time of year to travel. To help you beat the heat, we\u2019ve whipped round a few of our Japan-based colleagues for their top tips on staying cool!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. DO wear shorts and sandals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some guidebooks advise against wearing shorts and\/or sandals in Japan for cultural reasons, but in this kind of heat you really must dress for the weather. You will find that short-wearing is fairly uncommon amongst older Japanese people, even in the heat, but it is perfectly acceptable \u2013 and sensible. Be not afraid of offending sensibilities here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9987\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9987\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9987\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Shorts &amp; sandals = OK\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-720x960.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-390x520.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-780x1040.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs-510x680.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Hiking_in_Knee_Socks_Sandals_and_Cut-offs.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shorts &amp; sandals = OK<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>2. Drink, drink, drink<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sorry folks, this point is a bit gross \u2013 but it\u2019s not always easy to tell when you\u2019re dehydrated. The best way to tell is to check your pee: if you\u2019re not urinating regularly and if your urine is yellow, you need to drink more water! This is much more important than many people realise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite all this drinking, you don\u2019t need to worry about getting caught short \u2013 nearly every convenience store in Japan has a clean, well-stocked loo that you can use free of charge, and you\u2019re never more than a few hundred metres from the nearest one. (Literally. You cannot move for convenience stores in Japan).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Extra tip:<\/strong> Convenience stores often keep some water and iced tea in the freezer during summer, so you can keep your beverage extra-cool for longer.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9988\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9988\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9988\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2.jpg\" alt=\"The heat is a great excuse to try Japan's weird and wonderful vending machines\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2-390x293.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Japanese_drink_vending_machine2-510x383.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The heat is a great excuse to try Japan&#8217;s weird and wonderful vending machines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>3. Top up your sodium<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Sweating lots in the heat can cause you to lose sodium, which can lead to a condition called hyponatremia. Drinking lots of water alone is not enough \u2013 you need to replenish your sodium levels too. The easiest way to do so is by drinking the occasional sports drink &#8211; such as the tantalisingly named \u201cPocari Sweat\u201d. These contain sodium and are available from vending machines on practically every street in Japan.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9990\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9990\" style=\"width: 224px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9990 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-224x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pocari Sweat\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-720x964.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-390x522.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-780x1044.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari-510x683.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/pocari.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9990\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pocari Sweat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>4. Protect against the sun<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This point is fairly obvious and I apologise for insulting your collective intellligences &#8211; but it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry. Wear sun cream, wear a hat, cover your shoulders, seek out shady areas \u2013 or do as the Japanese do and carry a parasol. Whatever your preferred method, just be sure to protect against the sun.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Plan your day intelligently<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>From 12 noon until 3pm is generally the hottest part of the day, so to escape the most intense heat, try to plan any indoor activities to take place in the early afternoon. It also follows that early mornings and late afternoons can be the most pleasant times of day for outdoor pursuits.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Hydrate before you booze<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As you\u2019ll know from our previous summer blog posts, Japanese summer means a whole host of fabulous beer gardens, many of which offer \u201call-you-can-drink\u201d plans for a set price over a certain period of time. It\u2019s beer heaven!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning to have a tipple or two on holiday, make sure that you drink plenty of water before and during to avoid stealth dehydration \u2013 a risk that\u2019s easily forgotten after a couple of pints.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9989\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9989\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9989\" src=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden.jpg\" alt=\"A beer garden in Odori Park, Sapporo\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden-390x219.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/odori-beer-garden-510x287.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9989\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A beer garden in Odori Park, Sapporo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>7. Wet your clothes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A good hack from our tour leader Steve is to wet your t-shirt, wring it and then shake it out before wearing. You\u2019ll get a couple of hours of cool against your skin before it dries out \u2013 just make sure it\u2019s not see-through before you venture outside!<\/p>\n<p>Steve also likes to wear a damp cap, which he runs under the tap periodically throughout the day, and sometimes a damp towel around his neck if it\u2019s getting really hot. He has even been known to dampen his cap in the morning and leave it in the freezer for a while for a very chilled start to the day!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. Try a \u201ccool wipe\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The Japanese convenience store to the rescue again! Not only does the humble \u201ckonbini\u201d keep you stocked up with heat-emitting pads in winter, it can also provide cooling relief in the summer. Cosmetic brands Biore and Gatsby, available at most convenience stores, make \u201ccool wipes\u201d (wet wipes with a tingle) to cool the skin throughout the day.<\/p>\n<h4>Like this post?
