Top 3 Stormy Days (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–74 … My Adventures in Japan)

I had to walk through raging rainstorms, blinding blizzards, or screaming typhoons.

Generally speaking, if you’re riding in a car, it will take much more than a thunderstorm or a snowstorm to stop your progress.

Such phenomena might inconvenience you, delay you, or maybe even give you a hint of danger. But usually, you will manage to get from point A to point B without too much strain or struggle.    _{(Image source)}

Moving through weather

But in Japan, I rarely drove. Usually, I walked or cycled, and there were times when I had to walk or cycle through raging rainstorms, blinding blizzards, or screaming typhoons.

Moreover, there were times when I could not go and could not walk anywhere, simply because of the weather. As detailed above.   

Maybe my experience of these bad-weather days has something to do with the fact that Japan has much less of an automobile-oriented culture. The prime means of transport are walking, cycling, and public transportation.    

Whatever… I managed to keep moving, until I moved away.      _{(Image source)}
