Up here in Hokkaido I find most Japanese houses and especially offices to be oppressively warm in winter. I would say on average up here they seem to like to keep the temperature at something around 24 degrees. I find this way too warm. As I say to them if it was that warm in the house in summer you'd want to put the aircon on! I've had many minor battles with Japanese staff over the years about how warm to have the heating in the office during winter. I prefer around 19 degrees but they'll often set it at 28 and still wrap themselves in blankets at their desk!
