Hi everyone,
I'm going to be in Japan for 4 weeks and I hear it will be absolutely BOILING.
I will be in Tokyo -> Fukuoka -> Beppu -> Osaka -> Mt Fuji -> Tokyo. Will potentially do a day trip to Kobe bc ya girl loves steak.
Was hoping someone could give me some tips and help answer some questions:
- I'm from Sydney and our summers get pretty hot too. Has anyone experienced both and can make a comparison?
- I'm quite heavily tattooed (full sleeve) and I don't want to be disrespectful or make the locals uncomfortable but I worry about overheating from wearing long sleeves, especially while hiking up Mount Fuji? I've been told that in main tourist areas/cities I'll be fine to have my tattoos showing but not sure about Mount Fuji & Kyushu areas.
- Saw advice on another thread to buy a battery operated fan – where would I find this in Tokyo?
- I'm seeing lots of advice to stay hydrated and buy water bottles from convenience stores – is it hard to refill a water bottle as to minimise plastic/recycling?
- Any must visit places/activities that I should know of for these areas?
Hit me with all the tips and tricks!
