I really like summer.

Some people may hate summer because the weather can be too hot and people start to look forward to spring, autumn, and even winter. But wait! The air may become hot and humid, but don't forget that there are so many interesting events that can be enjoyed that only occur in the summer. So, try not to hate the summer too much, and see the reason why summer is a season that deserves to be liked!

1. Summer flowers

Flowers grow beautifully everywhere in Japan. There are many flower festivals in Japan that offer beautiful flower panoramas. There are also gardens that are open to the public in various locations featuring a variety of colorful roses, tulips and other beautiful flowers.

2. Fireworks

Some argue that summer is the season for fireworks in Japan because there are many fireworks shows held throughout the country during July and August. So, make sure to enjoy fireworks during the summer festival and experience the experience of wearing summer casual kimono (yukata) like the Japanese do!

3. Festival in summer

In Japan, there are festivals for each season and summer festivals tend to be very large! If you are looking for the biggest festival in Japan to make your summer vacation here more memorable, go to Osaka on July 24 to 25 for the Tenjin Matsuri celebration and to Kyoto between July 1 and 31 for the Gion Matsuri celebration.

4. Simple clothes and summer shoes

Hang your jacket and scarf, and store your boots. Stored during winter and used in summer! Yes, you can finally wear lighter clothing like shorts and t-shirts and simple summer shoes or even sandals. You can also add a stylish straw hat to your wardrobe too, to protect your eyes from the sun!

5. Food in summer

As you may know, Japan has many seasonal foods. Cold somen and unagi are the most common foods that you cannot miss during summer in Japan. In addition, don't forget to try delicious Japanese summer desserts like kakigori and warabi mochi!

6. Drinks in summer

Yes, there are even special drinks in the summer and can be found in department stores (konbinis) throughout the country. Some summer drinks that you might encounter are Pepsi Salty Watermelon, Espressoda, and Lazy Afternoon Rooter which are examples of drinks offered only during the summer. So wait, try and see which drinks will be your favorite to keep you cool this summer!

This is my opinion.

Thanks
