Believe me, as a Canadian you are not used to what you will experience in Japan in August. It was certainly an eye opener for me and I won't do that again. Absolutely brutal and far worse than anything felt in Southern Ontario, Quebec, or anywhere else in Canada. No respite at night either. All the cement and concrete in Japanese cities magnifies the heat. Even at 6am it is full blast heat/humidity.
