My family just came from our annual Japan trip and stayed in Tokyo from June 4 to 19th. Weather was cool almost everyday except for like a couple of days that hit 30C. We couldn't be more happier as a lot of friend told us it is a bad month to go to Japan but honestly weather was way better compared to previous years we went to Japan that rained a lot more, April 2018, March 2019, May 2023. Nov 2019 was also perfect weather everyday. It only rained on June 18th 2024 from early morning to like 3PM, we were so lucky as it was our stay home and pack our luggage day. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Your rainy season is overhere in the Netherlands; we didn't have any summer here so far this year :)
nice.
been praying for rain as ppl been getting sick due to the heat.
heat been claiming lives.
must be wonderful having all that rain.
@@shadowmod3 I think most of the ppl overhere would love some nice temps (something like 25°C) and a bit of sunny weather instead of all this rain and under 20°C in june, it's too low for this time of year, even in NL. It's just depressing weather so far in 2024.
Isn't that usually the case in NL? 🤣
That's how most days look in Southern California 😆
At my in-laws’ in Okinawa now. Will never complain about Tokyo/mainland heat and humidity ever again 😅😂
Just got back from 3 weeks out in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and we were very lucky to have experienced a very dry "rainy season" for our trip. Can't wait to visit again !
We just got back from 2 weeks in Tokyo, Hokkaido, Osaka. We were lucky with the weather! But nothing beats the northern CA weather in this world!
John should create limited edition you found me cards, then the only in japan community can start a collection series.
Love your videos John, we finally made it back to Japan after 6 years. Perfect weather! Agree the pancakes are awesome, we went on Wednesday(12th June) and the wait was not long at all about 20mins.
I was in Ginza last month….had a blast
im coming back august 6th-16th to spend at a racetrack in Nihommatsu im so excited its been 6 years since i was there
the hot weather doesnt bother me since i lived in las vegas for 7 years and currently live in new york where the humidity feels like you need a shower when you walk outside
I am in Japan right now. Can't be more more happy about it.
Rainy season just started.
The rainy season came to the UK John! It's cooler than normal here...but, until it's officially summer, I'll count this as spring showers.
I think the mid usa got all your rain. My area has received roughly 35 inches since June 1st.
The dnr has issued a no wake zone for all the lakes
I love the bells in Japan. So nostalgic.
Come visit us up in Edmonton, AB., Canada. I think we found your rainy season on vacation over here. 🌧⛈🌧🌧🌧⛈🌧🌦☔
Hi John, I arrived in Japan last Jun 13 at KIX with my wife and 3 children.. Fyi, the weather was very good without rain until Jun 15, but in the evening, around 8-9 pm it was light raining
We visited Nara and Kyoto day return from Osaka on that date . We enjoyed it with good weather without rain as well...
On Jun 16 and today we're in Nagoya-Takayama-Shirakawa-go and back to Nagoya for evening ride by shinkansen ahead to Tokyo with good weather as well ..
I have just found out that tomorrow will be heavy rain the whoe day and night as per forecasted 😢😢 Oh no... TDS tickets were issued for tomorrow ( June 19 ) . We bought it last week . No return No change date allowed 😀😀
Fiuhh !!
Good memories from Akebono :P Remember we had daifuku there in 2019? Gonna get some when i'm back in November.
I found a kimono in Kyoto at a shop in what looked like the Dotonbouri (spelling?) area in Osaka, but it was an indoor Kyoto shopping area with the glass rooftop. It was supposedly second hand, but it is in excellent shape, brand new. I paid very little for it!!! Iit's silk (according to my Japanese friends, it ceraintly looks it) as well as beautiful. I managed to buy an obi in the states to match it at a Japanese shop in the mid-west.
Nooo lol don’t jinx the rainy season to come yet! We are coming for our first trip next week but I see it’s coming and will rain our entire week 😢headed to Tokyo, doing a day trip in Kawagoe and Kamakura. I wish we would see the sun while there but according to the weather apps it’s not gonna happen for us. 20-28 of June we will be going ❤ I knew it was rainy season but I was still hopeful for a sunny day or two like you have now, I’m so bummed out. It is the only time we could have came though.
Maybe the cloud cover will help it not be so hot. And the showers probably won’t be all day. Enjoy your trip! 😊
@@tricias1227Thank you. that’s true, will be easier to walk if it isn’t blazing hot sun all the time. Some stuff we do will be indoors but we have a couple day trips planned though which is mostly outside in those areas like Kamakura and then Kawagoe.
8 weeks from today I will finally arrive in Japan. So excited!!!!!
Also, john, my friend warned me about the rainy season but we had maybe two rainy days here in Tokyo and now it's just warm 😂
I know! It’s been lovely - what’s happening! 😂 enjoy it ☀️
We had mass rain over our summer back in December through to Jan, even though the national weather agency predicted dry weather, screwed a lot of farmers. Very unusually humid. Still, I was glad to be in Japan during the start of Auatralian summer 😂. Even now in winter, its very humid and nights have averaged 16*C when normally it should be 11. Not sure how this year's Summer is gonna play out.
Just flew back from Tokyo 12 hours ago and the weather was perfect. We were scared we would get rained out at Tokyo Disney but we couldn't ask for better weather.
If it could just remain like these until autumn 😂
We have nice sun here in Kuwait, not a drop of rain until maybe October, the temperature reaching >50 C, and the air feels a hair dryer 😊
Hong Kong 🇭🇰 is starting the Typhoon season now.
Rainy season went to North Italy,😅😊I just came back from there, it has been un usual weather for this time of the year, with frequent rainy day😅
I'm coming to Tokyo next weekend I hope it's not too hot. Last time I went to Kyoto my shirt had sweat absorbed it looked like I spilled water on it. It was that hot.
Nice, this time of the year is always a challenge in tokyo, sometimes its very hot, sometimes its very rainy. Umbrellas help in both cases
Its been rainy season here for the last 10 months 😢 greetings from Belgium
Don't worry. The rain is arriving just in time for our Tokyo trip next week. 😅
When I visited during rainy season in 2011 there was one half day of light rain over two weeks. Every day was unbelievably hot and clear.
I remember that year, it wasn’t so bad. This was a few months after the tsunami and earthquake and we were running food up to Tohoku. Depends where you visit but some years are better than others - but we do need the water. Typhoons usually bring a lot.
I miss watching your live vid John.. a bit busy lately. I will be in Fukuoka end of Oct hope by then the weather will be better.
First time that I hear that about the Starbucks Paper Cups.
I like Starbucks...but I agree, it is expensive.
Someone told me that 🤷🏻♂️ so I’ve been avoiding the paper cups with plastic inside.
@@onlyinjapanGO
I always ask for a Mug at Starbucks, but sometimes the staff only gives Paper Cups.
And I think the coffee is more delicious from a Mug than from a Paper Cup.
Well, Summer is just started, Sorry for network issues at the end.
The end was messy with the signal 📶 in the back of Ginza. Sorry about that.
I’m currently in Tokyo and it’s too hot for me! I feel heat exhaustion creeping on me unless I have a 2 litre bottle of Pocari sweat and another one of water with constant breaks in the shade and AC
I’m comming to Tokyo on Tuesday with my two kids 🙂
Okinawa since we have dealing with heavy rain over the last 2 weeks
That means it’s a matter of days before Tokyo gets it.
So I just scanned it now while in New Zealand at 4pm Japan time and it says
About 50mins 4 groups
Would I be charged long distance if I called the number from Canada? Or is long distance calling no longer a thing? Big fan! 👍
its over here in the uk its rained here every day for 2 weeks
High Pressure in control
It's just the beginning of Summer, first 2 months or so you will experience extreme heat, heatwave and around September - October you'll probably get what you wish for, typhoons usually hit around the end of summer......
I can tell you where the rainy season went, it’s in the UK, as there is a lot of rain here lol
That was fun seeing a new area hopefully you find something good to eat like pancakes
I know 😀 🥞
The rain season is here in the Netherlands
you were saying that bikes are not allowed, did not know if you noticed, if I am not mistaken, there was a bike that passed by near you 😀
25:50
You’re Right, it’s NOT allowed, I showed you the signs and he will get tackled by those guard and many fined if the cops get him for Going that fast. Crazy!
The Danish guy here, my name is Jack, not Thomas, but close enough 😉
Hey Jack! Thank you - I’ve got a Danish friend named Thomas and get confused with names but remember faces. So happy to see you again ^_^
@@onlyinjapanGOMakes sense, I'm better at remembering faces than names too :)
It was also nice to see you again after 5 years :)
I'll have to see if I can find some more coasters in a new variant for the next time I come to Japan in a few years 😜
The rainy season is in Okinawa. My son told me that he is closed in the house from days.
I don't think its officially rainy season in Tokyo. Even then they seem to call it before it actually starts raining. We should look up what it takes to decide rainy season has started.
They only called the start of rainy season in Kagoshima Friday last week. We are getting rain now but werent when theseason officially started.
Where did the rainy season go?
It came to Scandinavia 😄☔
🤯 come back, oh, but not the typhoons 🌀
Visit Okinawa has an inclement weather warning ⚠️ on their website right now . Sounds like heavy rainfalls ,
This is why I don't like traveling in the summer
yea its not very wet this year.....might be a drier rainy season.
Why does happy pancake have such a long wait? That's absurd. It's funny because when I went to the one in shinsaibashi, it was completely dead lol. The food is good but overpriced
happy pancake, theres no one there in other prefectures
I know! It’s so odd.
We got 7 pasmo IC cards in Haneda last June 10, easily. No more pasmo passport. Chip shortage no more?
It’s over. Haven’t heard of any issues lately.
Hey John, Be aware of heat stroke. It just killed Michael Mosley.
暑いですね。
Do they need teachers of English or is that very common?
Come live in the inaka and grow your own blueberries and not pay $25 for a small punnet ;)
To travel to the countryside costs hours and double that 😂 the cost of going to the source but I’d come back with 25kg!!!
@@onlyinjapanGO My in-laws have a bunch of blueberry bushes and we pick a few kgs every year. We eat most fresh but freeze some to have throughout the year. If you ever get the chance come do a video in Toyama
El Niño effect?
Dunno, but the rain is here 12 hours later 😂 maybe I jinxed it but says it’ll be clear after 7am.
I will never understand the appeal of this. It's just pure asphalt..
It’s a city street. It’s mostly asphalt. I’m not sure how pure though.
Errr. They said Malaysia. 26:58 Not Indonesia. Their accent was Malaysian not Indonesian. It's where I was born. ❤️ That was a long time ago.
I thought they said Malaysia 🇲🇾 that chat said they said “Indonesia” 🇮🇩 … 🤷🏻♂️
@@onlyinjapanGOYou heard right, John. They (the chat) heard wrong. They just have to go back and re-listen. 😉
Malaysia, yes the accent is Malaysian.
Where did the rainy season go?? To Sydney, Australia mate, to Sydney Australia. 😂
Wow, I thought AUD$7 was expensive for blueberries.
But John, dont you have a kid?
points out rainy season in south Japan then asks why it's not rainy in central Japan as if rany season means london weather🤣
Also 2 days later and it's raining in Tokyo and will do so all day and likely most of next week too.
I really appreciate that most of japanese women are not wearing pants.
It's because I told the gods to please not rain while I am in Japan for the next 10 days. 🤣
rain cleanses.
recant your prayers.
They’re paying attention - except I see rain clouds 3 hours later 😳
Same content every year
I feel that it's mostly the Chinese and Korean tourists that shop at the drugstores. I don't think it's something North American tourists are interested in.
Happy Pancake was overrated.... they're eggy souffle pancakes. 👎
Yes they are Malaysian please repeat and listen not Indonesia.
The chat said they heard them say Indonesian. I heard Malaysian.
It’s not a big deal to me 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t really care about people’s nationality, just their kindness and manner. I’m more curious to know if they traveled far and have jet lag. Indonesia and Malaysia are close, so no jet lag. Don’t get upset 😂
