Things To Love About Summer in Japan
It's not an exaggeration to say that I dread summer in Japan with every fiber of my being. For years, I've been telling my friends that we've all just been socially conditioned to like summer because of months-long vacations from school. As soon as I feel the first ominous droplets of humidity in late May, I know I'm in for an infinite stretch of sweaty subway rides, punishing sun rays and bad hair days (more like bad hair months ). But if there's one skill I've mastered after 20 rewatches of the movie About Time , it's romanticizing mundane and even objectively unpleasant moments and seasons of life — so here are things I actually like about summer in Japan, from quintessential experiences to nostalgic memories. Maybe this summer will finally convert me into a believer. Peaches You haven't truly relished a fruit until you've had a Japanese peach, available only in the summer months. A perfectly ripe Japanese peach will have you waxing poetic and believing in life again. The Sound of Windchimes These traditional glass decorations hanging on storefronts make a magical, soft twinkling sound at every warm breeze — a comforting reminder of summer's slow rhythm. Sunsets on the Train There's something so enchanting about seeing a sunset specifically through a train window, especially while listening to dreamy, melancholy music (think Beach House or The Marias). Bonus points if you can see the ocean, Spirited Away style. Wearing Yukata Distinct from a kimono, yukata are unlined cotton garments commonly worn at summer festivals, and often feature beautiful summery patterns. Even if you forgo wearing one, it's fun to just admire everyone's matsuri yukata. Fireworks This one is obvious, but gazing at glittering bursts of light in the sky with your loved ones at a festival is a peak Japanese summer experience. Hanabi , the Japanese word for fireworks, means 'fire flower.' Check out our roundup of fireworks festivals across Japan. Kakigori From simple syrupy shaved ice cups to elaborate and luxurious mango creations, Japan's kakigori feel decadent and light at once. Shirokuma, a classic style of kakigori from Kagoshima Prefecture, is available at most grocery and convenience stores — try it this summer! The Smell of Mosquito Coil This might be a niche experience, but the incense-like smell of a mosquito coil — a must in Japanese summers — is weirdly satisfying and a nostalgic sign of summer. Retro Electric Fans Kids these days will never know the simple joys of yelling into a spinning fan and hearing your distorted voice. Plus, they have so much more visual character than boring modern fans or air purifiers. Peak Komorebi If you read our untranslatable Japanese words article, you already know that komorebi refers to the quietly beautiful phenomenon of light filtered through swaying leaves. Although komorebi is not unique to summer, the season sees its most enchanting form — a portrait of vibrant green and gold in a dreamlike, glowing haze. Air Conditioning I know AC is not unique to Japanese summers, but its crisp coolness is so satisfying after a long day of existing in under-airconditioned spaces. Cicadas Singing Some people find them distracting when trying to fall asleep, but I find the rhythmic drone of semi (cicadas) soothing — without it, the soundscape of summer would feel empty and soulless. Morning Glory and Sunflowers Tiny trumpet-shaped morning glory flowers dot sidewalks and gardens in the summer months. Sunflowers, of course, are one of the most beloved signifiers of summer in Japan, with many parks dedicating weeks to sunflower festivals. Rice Fields If you've lived in the suburbs or countryside, you get it — Japan's rice fields are at their most verdant and beautiful during the summer, with young rice plants framed by pools of water reflecting the blue sky (which is another thing to love about summer — the sky is so blue, and the clouds are so fluffy!). Kids Catching Bugs Catching insects like dragonflies and beetles is a common wholesome activity for Japanese children in the summer, and it's heartwarming to witness kids still being curious about nature in today's technological dystopia. fukagawa hachiman festival Matsuri Japan's vibrant, exciting summer festivals are essential to enjoying the season. Although the crowds can feel a tad overwhelming at major festivals, their energy and camaraderie bring life to hot summer nights. Check out our ultimate guide to Tokyo summer festivals .

A Month with More than 2,000 Earthquakes in Japan's Southern Tokara Islands
Japan Data Japan's Tokara Islands have experienced more than 2,000 earthquakes in a month from June 21, including a major tremor of level 6 lower seismic intensity on July 3. Continued Seismic Activity More than 2,000 earthquakes have rocked the Tokara Islands in Kagoshima Prefecture since June 21, in a continued period of seismic activity. From June 21 through the afternoon of July 18, there were 2,171 earthquakes with a seismic intensity of 1 or more. July 3 saw the largest tremors, including one of level 6 lower on the seismic intensity scale recorded among a series of quakes from 4:13 in the afternoon on the island of Akusekijima. The Tokara Islands lie between Yakushima and Amami Ōshima in the waters south of mainland Kagoshima Prefecture. The seven inhabited and five uninhabited islands are administratively part of the village of Toshima. Kyūshū and the Tokara Islands are located where the Philippine Sea Plate is subducted under the Eurasian Plate, leading to considerable seismic activity in the area. In December 2021, there were 308 earthquakes of seismic intensity 1 or more (maximum 5 upper), and in September 2023, there were 346 (maximum 4). However, there have been far more earthquakes this time. Three groups of residents have evacuated from Akusekijima to the city of Kagoshima and elsewhere, but the stress of living as an evacuee and concern over family members remaining on the island have led some to return. While the number of earthquakes has slightly declined since July 14, the JMA warns residents to stay alert for tremors with a seismic intensity up to level 6 lower.

Did we strike gold or strike out with this rooftop beer garden on top of a Tokyo parking garage?
It's not where you'd expect a summer beer garden to be, but we've been surprised before and couldn't pass up a chance to investigate. Our Japanese-language reporter Ahiruneko was passing through JR Tachikawa Station in Tokyo recently when an advertisement for a beer garden caught his eye. It was only a few minutes' walk from the station's South Exit, but the intriguing thing was that it was located on top of the Sanko Parking Garage. A beer garden on top of a parking garage?! That seemed almost sketchy in a way… He thought he might be imagining things, but once he got to the garage, there was indeed a giant banner advertising the 'Tachikawa in the Sky Beer Garden.' He also spotted a few signs on the ground level doubly confirming the fact that beer and yummy things were just an elevator ride away. The entrance to the garage was very unassuming… …and if you didn't know, it would be easy to think that this was just an ordinary place to park your car. However, Ahiruneko followed the signs until he found a somewhat retro-looking elevator and stepped inside. Next to the rooftop level button was a small visual for the beer garden. What exactly would be waiting for him when the door opened…? As it turned out, it was indeed a proper beer garden! The decorations were fairly minimalistic, but he appreciated the combination of J-pop streaming through the speakers punctuated by the timeless tinkling sound of wind chimes. It was such a clear, beautiful sound whenever the breeze picked up. This particular day happened to be on the weekend, when the beer garden opened in the early afternoon. Hardly anyone was there at around 2 p.m., likely due to the cloudy weather and possible chance of rain. Ahiruneko wouldn't let that stop him from enjoying a little bite, though, so he perused the menu to see the different course options. There was a particularly good-looking deal called the 'Cheers! All-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink course.' For 90 minutes, you can have unlimited alcoholic drinks, soft drinks, and five kinds of food, all for only 2,580 yen (US$17) per person. That was too good to pass up, so he selected that plan and made his way to the central counter to order a draft beer for his first drink. Nothing taste better than that when it's a humid summer day with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). He then turned his attention to the food that was part of his all-you-can-eat course. There was karaage… …French fries… …salted cabbage… …and yakisoba. They were all fairly typical Japanese street food offerings that you might find at a summer festival. There were plenty of additional sauces and seasonings that he could add, too. All were fairly basic menu items, but he figured that was probably how they kept the cost so low. By the way, curry was the fifth and final food item included in the deal. The pots containing the curry and rice were located on a self-service table. Interestingly, while a sign on the stand proclaimed that it was authentic curry rice made by a chef from Bangladesh, Ahiruneko couldn't help but think that it tasted like curry suited for the Japanese palate. There were also some finely chopped pieces of konnyaku (a food derived from the konjac yam) throughout the sauce. Regardless of whether it was indeed made by a Bangladeshi or Japanese chef, it was really good. Ahiruneko definitely wanted to take advantage of the all-you-can-eat nature of his plan, so he ordered more karaage and yakisoba. He was a little taken aback when the second servings arrived and the portions were even bigger than the first ones! It would be hard to finish, but he'd do his best in the usual SoraNews24 way. All in all, despite the dubious nature of a beer garden on the rooftop of a parking garage, Ahiruneko considers his find a win. The garden will remain open until September 16 this year, so please stop by if you'll be in the area.
