Escaping Summer Heat in Gifu | Japanese Life Video Recommendation

The summer temperatures in Gifu have risen quickly today, prompting my wife and me to start our hike along the Kiso river early in the morning. By 8 am, the weather had already turned hot and humid, reaching 32 degrees Celsius.

As a result, we find ourselves retreating to the comfort of our home during the unbearable heat and humidity. Fortunately, with just a few clicks, we can unwind and enjoy some engaging video content on Youtube. Just after we arrived home, an intriguing video caught my attention, and after watching it, I couldn’t help but share it with you.

If you have some spare time, I highly recommend watching this video, especially if you’re interested in life in Japan. Once you’ve seen it, I would love to hear your thoughts and which aspects resonated with you.
