Today’s question is: What are your favorite rainy day activities in Japan?

Took local train into suburb and enjoy the view (works even better on snowy day).
Or find museums.
Coffee shops and tea/wagashi places! I love relaxing days reading a book with a warm drink, watching the rain and surroundings.
1. Museums.
2. Train trips on a line that snakes beside a river cutting through the mountains.
3. Hiking near a waterfall (if the weather is neither windy nor torrential rain).
Museums, covered shopping arcades.
If it’s not too bad, the greenery around temples and shrines always looks best when it’s a little rainy.
