A Taste of Tokyo Summer


Hello post-pandemic Japan! So lovely to see you again. :)

Tokyo is fun to visit in any season but summer can be daunting for those who cannot stand extreme heat and humidity. Well, I got a taste of the legendary Japanese summer last August even if I live in Southeast Asia and it's 30 plus celsius all year round.  The summer heat in Japan is another kind of beast though. It is not as humid compared to the Philippines but it's a dryish kind of heat that gets one easily fatigued and exhausted. There were some  places in my Tokyo itinerary that I was not able to visit due to the extreme temperature but I enjoyed staying indoors and sampling lots of yummy Japanese food and drinks. I hope to see Tokyo in much colder climes next time! 


Can't go home without a Starbucks Tokyo espresso cup souvenir. This one doubles as an adorable snow dome.

Not even the hot sun can stop the fun at Tokyo Disneyland
