I don’t remember my past summers in Kyoto being as hot as this one. While the neighbors suck up electricity to refrigerate their apartments, we leave the air conditioning off at our house, taking maybe too much pride in our environmentally conscious suffering. Shouldn’t we feel the seasons?
Still, one can only bear so much. A couple weeks back we found relief from the heat at a pool party with friends at Nenrinbou hotel in Takagamine.
