July weather in Tokyo
by bulldogtwo
Well as weather goes anywhere it's a gamble, especially when it comes to guessing what it'll be in the near or far future!!
But yes, it could be wet but I don't think anymore so than most other places in asia, actually not as wet as some of the SEAsian countries. When it's not raining I would be ready for some pretty humind weather though, it can get pretty sticky in Tokyo that time of the year. Hokkaido would probably have rain as well, how much??? but the humidity wouldn't be or shouldn't be as bad.
Good luck and have fun!

The Japanese Yen
by machomikemd
the japanese yen is the main currency of Japan since the Meiji period in the 1870's. It has ¥1000, ¥2000, ¥5000, and ¥10,000 notes and has 1, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 500 yen coins. It is the third most popular currency after the US Dollar and the Euro. the present exhange Rate between the US Dollar to the yen is $ 1= 87 yen in money exchange shops and $ 1= 82 yen at hotels and $ 1 = 89 yen at post offices so I would recommend that you exchange US dollars at post offices and if no post office nearby then at money exchange shops ok since they have better exchange rates than hotesl! don't always compute the US dollar equivalent of prices as you will just be dissapointed with the high prices in japan!
The Famous Japanese Bidet (toilets)
by machomikemd
Before japan was famous (or notorious) for it's squat toilets wherein you just squat to tke a dump or pee but nowadays japan is now popularly known for its bidets and anus washes (lavatory) and it is an experience to use this bidets and *** washesas every hotel room is equipped with this high tech stuff and in public bathrooms, look for the bidet sign as they are separate from ordinary toilets ok! these high tech toilets include many advanced features rarely seen outside of Asia. Depending on the exact model, these bidets are designed to open the lid when they sense a user nearby, wash the anus or vulva of the user, dry afterwards with warm air, flush automatically and close the lid after use. The most basic feature is the integrated bidet, a nozzle the size of a pencil that comes out from underneath the toilet seat and squirts water. It has two settings: one for washing the anus and one for the bidet. The former is called posterior wash, general use, or family cleaning, and the latter is known as feminine cleaning, feminine wash or simply bidet. At no point does the nozzle actually touch the body of the user. The nozzle is also self-cleaning and cleans itself before and after operation. The user can select to wash the anus or vulva by pressing the corresponding button on the control panel. Usually the same nozzle is used for both operations, but at a different position of the nozzle head, and using different openings in the nozzle to squirt water at a different angle to aim for the correct spot. Occasionally, two nozzles are used, each dedicated for one area. The control logic is also attached to a pressure switch in the toilet seat, and operates only if there is pressure on the seat, indicating that the seat is occupied.
