Uh, this confused me a bit. I read a bok on Japan that said there are anore than a thousand earthquakes in Japan per year. Is this true? That's more than three a day. Also, can anyone tell me something very accurate about the weather patterns in Japan. I hope to go there one day and I want to be prepared, and comfortable.  |
Holy crap that's an involved question...
Hokkaido is cold
Okinawa is hot
Honshu and it's immediately adjacent islands are in the middle
Most of Japan has a spring that ends with a rainy season and then morphs into a humid hot summer and dries up for hay fever season with autumn and then depending on the place, no snow, to a speck to grab your snowboard and ride out the next few months!
99.9% of those 1000 earthquakes are undetectable to most people, I feel incredibly slight tremors about once a week, but I'm not always sure that's what they are, they could just be indigestion or a freight truck passing by, or the wind if I'm at work in the tall building.
