Rainy Season
The rainy season usually lasts from mid June to around mid July.
It does not rain all the time and of course there are days without rain but a typical day has at least one rain shower. It can vary from a light rain shower to pouring rain.
However this year it has not been as hot and humid as on previous years.

Hanami
Hanami is the season for cherry blossom viewing. Families and friends gather in parks for picnics and celebrating the new season. Parks are crowded and people are in a festive mood. Mothers with small children meet during the weekdays. Later on in the evening workmates meet over an obento and sake under the blooming cherry trees.

Jogashima Island - 城ヶ島
Jogashima Island is located at the tip of the Miura Peninsula at the mouth of the Tokyo Bay an hours drive from Yokohama. The drive depends on the traffic and could take as long as 3 hours :(
It is a beautiful place of serenity. Often when we feel the hustle and bustle of the city life we drive down to this area to get a respite and refreshing.
Highly recommendable!
