開智国際日本語学校(Kaichi International School of Japanese)
Aug. 2, 2021
[English/Japanese] August has arrived and the weather has been hot, with temperatures hitting 30 degrees Celsius every day. In this article, I would like to introduce the climate and natural phenomena of Japan. Are you surprised only at first? Earthquakes Japan is famous for its earthquakes, and the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011, with a magnitude of 9.0 on the Richter scale, caused tremendous damage. Although the Great East Japan Earthquake was a large scale earthquake, smaller earthquakes occur about 15 times a year in Tokyo. Therefore, some international students panic when they feel an earthquake for the first time after coming to Japan, but after experiencing it a few times, they get used to it and don't worry about it. Is this a good thing? You never know when a big earthquake will hit. "Don't think that this earthquake will be small, but be prepared to escape at any time. Students with abdominal pain in June Beware of the rainy season! Summer in Japan is not only hot, but also very humid and difficult to live with. June in particular is the rainy season. During the rainy season, the humidity is even higher, which makes it easier for food to spoil. I have heard many stories of foreign students getting food poisoning from eating food that has been stored in their rooms as it was when they were in their own countries. Please keep food in the refrigerator as much as possible and observe the expiration dates. Many people are addicted to kotatsu, a winter specialty. Winters in Japan are cold. In snowy countries, houses are built for winter and you can stay warm, but this is not the case in Tokyo. That's where the "Kotatsu" comes in. Have you ever heard of a kotatsu? It is a table with a heater. There are many international students who are addicted to the kotatsu. The kotatsu is warm and covered with a futon, so it is not uncommon to hear stories of people falling asleep while doing their homework. If you come to Japan, please try it at least once. You will never be able to get out of the kotatsu. Onset from the second year! Hay fever Many people suddenly develop hay fever in their second year of studying in Japan. In Japan, cedar pollen starts to fly all over the country around mid-January. Many people suffer from hay fever due to the pollen, and once you have it, you can't get rid of it unless you get special treatment. It is said that one in four Japanese suffer from hay fever. The main symptoms of hay fever are sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes. If you have hay fever in Japan, you should go to a hospital and get some medicine. Did you all understand about the climate and natural phenomena in Japan? Our school holds a disaster drill once a year. In this drill, we receive instructions from the local fire department so that we can evacuate calmly in case of a big earthquake. Our school supports students to live in the dormitory with peace of mind. We are looking forward to your enrollment. In August, the temperature has been over 30 degrees Celsius every day. This time, we will introduce the climate and natural phenomena of Japan. Only the first surprise? earthquake Japan is famous for its earthquake-prone country. The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 was a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that caused enormous damage. The Great East Japan Earthquake is a large-scale earthquake, but in the case of small earthquakes, it occurs about 15 times a year in Tokyo. Therefore, some international students panic when they feel an earthquake for the first time when they come to Japan, but after experiencing it a few times, they get used to it and don't care about anything when an earthquake occurs. Is this a good thing? You never know when a big earthquake will come. Don't think, "Is it another small earthquake?" and be prepared to escape at any time.
