Rainy Season Number 2 in Japan

Posted by Kyle Yates in Kansai Visitors

Normally, rainy season is before summer. But with the recent wind currents snaking over the country, Japan has had tons more rain than it got during the official rainy season.

While Tokyo has seen torrential rains and flooding, the Kansai region has also had its share of downpours and flooding.

Now that typhoon season is officially ON, more rain is in the forecast as they pass by or over the country dumping even more rain.

If you plan to visit the Kansai region or any other area of Japan over the next month or so, be prepared to experience rain. Bring a raincoat and wear shoes that you can walk in the rain with. Don’t ever worry about bringing an umbrella to Japan. There are more umbrellas for sale than anyone could ever imagine. They are cheaper than bottled water and sold everywhere, especially at convenient stores, which are a dime a dozen and on about every street corner.
