Summer in Japan especially In Tokyo can be blisteringly hot. With the current situation of the corona pandemic, this summer will be twice as hot because we all have to wear masks wherever we go. With temperatures soaring up to 45 degrees Celsius, anyone can suffer from heat exhaustion or even heat stroke. Preparing for the summer season is a must in order not to ruin your trip or even your everyday commute to work.

Be sure to pack essential liquids, the most sought off product would be the OS-1 drink. It is an oral rehydration solution, suitable for replenishing and maintaining water and electrolyte levels in the body. If you are not able to get one of these drink, other rehydration drinks are available too, like the Pocari Sweat, Aquarius, and Ion water. These drinks are the best options in replenishing lost electrolytes in the body.

Applying a layer of protection on your skin would be a good idea. Sunscreens are pretty much everywhere in Japan, but it would be preferable if you buy the one that has the highest SPF rating. An umbrella would be a good idea also. Staying on shaded parts is also being encouraged.

Getting away from the city will be our best way in dealing with the summer heat.  With tons of things to do at Enoshima, certainly it is one of the best ways to beat the summer heat.
