Summers in Japan have a particular flavor: tropical temperatures, sudden rain showers and summer festivals. Vending machines on every corner. Fireworks, like no other. Climbing Mount Fuji becomes possible.

These fragments represent our personal emotional map of time spent in Japan during summer.

Any of these can bring back a memory or become a new one.

There are few things that feel as good as green tea from a vending machine on a hot summer day.

See fireworks on display.
Order your tatami corner.
Pick up a kimono you always wanted.
Slow down. Refresh. Hang out.
