July 6, 2021
While it’s cold & freezy in Australia from June till August, the Japanese are having opposite experience from us as they are going through 夏(natsu, summer in Japanese) in their country.
Similar to our summer, it is also a hot & humid season in Japan where you tend to see lots of people hanging out by the beach or even surfing to escape from the heat. The cool thing about Japan summer is they have a lot of major traditional celebrations during this season, such as the famous one known as Obon festival – a nationwide celebration to honor & commemorate the ancestors.
Apart from festivals, you will get to enjoy varieties of summer food while watching firework shows at different parts of Japan. And here comes the highlight – major shopping outlets will be having summer sales, where most of the products and essential items will be sold at discounted price.
As much as we hope for Covid-19 to vanish from this world, it is a sad truth that we can’t step into Japan now to enjoy all the summer events. However, thanks to digitalization & freight forwarder like vPost – we are still able to benefit from Japan Summer Sales despite the distance. So let’s take a look at the list of hot Japanese brands & products we have picked for you:
