🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Welcome to the Tsuyu (Rainy Season). Expect temperatures between +24°C and +28°C with high humidity that makes it feel like a steam bath. Rain is highly likely—carry a transparent umbrella (available at any 7-Eleven or Lawson for ¥600). Wear light, quick-drying fabrics and comfortable waterproof shoes. Since the sun rises at 04:24, early starts are your best friend to beat the midday mugginess.

The name "Ameyoko" is short for "Ameya Yokocho" (Candy Store Alley), but also hints at "America" because of the surplus goods sold here after the war. Official site: Ameyoko Market
