Where to go in Japan...?

Question:


I will be in Japan from June to August - which is the worst area/city to go to with all the heat and humidity? And, which are more milder areas of Japan during the summer? (Not including Hokkaido)

Answer:


Most of the large cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya are really humid due to all the heat. I recommend mountainess area like Gifu or Nagano as they tend to be a lot cooler in summer and are a great escape from the heat. Check out places like

Takayama in Gifu - It is a small beautiful city known for its traditional architecture and crafts. Takayama lies in the ancient Hida district tucked away between the mountains of the Japan Alps.

Karuizawa (軽井沢町) in Nagano - is a favourite summer retreat for people of Tokyo and a beautiful place to visit in summer.
