I miss Japanese summer except for that humidity :) Song of crickets and cicadas, sound of wind-bell and baseball games on TV. Sit on tatami floor and have cold beer with edamame... I love them!
You can't miss Omatsuri in summer, too! It is like a farmer's market with more activities. Please enjoy Japanese summer!
