The Golden Week holiday has always carried with it a feeling of transitioning into summer. As jackets are shed, and shorts and T-shirts become the norm, we could easily argue that the month of May offers the finest weather of the year. Allergy season is behind us and the rainy season is still off in the distance.
While travel is currently being discouraged by health experts, what better time to get out for a walk or hike in and around Yokohama in this beautiful weather? Plenty of restaurants and cafes are putting tables outside or throwing open the windows to circulate the air. Some fresh air will surely do us all some good, but please remember to maintain proper safety measures while you are out and about.
