Need some positive vibes – going in August

Hello everyone!

Me and my boyfriend have our trip to Japan planned for the end of July – beginning of August. I’m already aware of the heat and the humidity but reading through this subreddit makes me very anxious.

We’ve been in China in August before which was very hot and humid as well, but for us it was still bareable. We’re both pretty pragmatic and optimistic people and overall can handle some heat. Also July/august is the only time we will be able to travel to Japan because of work so rescheduling is not an option for us.

Does anyone have a positive experience from traveling during this time? I don’t want our trip to be ruined 🙁

EDIT: I should probably add, we will be spending less time in the cities and focus more on the nature and countryside. Right now our plan is:

Tokyo -> Fuji -> Japanese Alps -> Kyoto -> Okinawa -> Osaka
