  • July In Japan - Festivals, Fire, and the Sea

    July In Japan - Festivals, Fire, and the Sea
    2025/06/20
    THE KIMI KATO SHOW With JEREMIAH - Featuring July In Japan From dazzling fireworks lighting up the night skies to energetic matsuri dances echoing through the streets, July is when Japan truly comes alive. Let’s explore together what makes this month so uniquely unforgettable. July in Japan is hot – and not just a little. We’re talking full-on humid, sweat-through-your-shirt heat. But what makes it bearable are the little comforts: kakigōri shaved ice, uchiwa fans, and those nostalgic sounds of furin wind chimes. But there’s something poetic about that heat. It slows life down just enough to help us appreciate a breeze, the shade of a tree, or a cold glass of mugicha barley tea. Join us as we explore the best Japan has to offer in July.
