daver 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 i was surprised too. but all my co-workers tell me that yamagata is the hottest place in japan. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Sounds very suspect, that does. I heard the hottest place was in Shizuoka, some city there - Kofu? Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Here are the actual stats from 1971 - 2000 Southern Kyushu and Okinawa easily have the hotter weather than anywhere further north... Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 shit, why won't that link properly?... Anyway, here are thew average temps for August from 1971 - 2000 Mean temperature ( °C ) Station Aug Sapporo 22.0 Sendai 24.1 Niigata 26.2 Nagoya 27.3 Tokyo 27.1 Hiroshima 27.9 Osaka 28.4 Takamatsu 27.4 Fukuoka 27.6 Kagoshima 28.2 Naha 28.2 Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 yamagata isn't on that list. i doubted it too, but they have all lived here their entire life and spout that fact like it is gospel truth. Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 I bet they also have: - the most delicious rice in Japan; - the most delicious ABC in Japan; - the prettiest girls in Japan etc etc (where ABC = everything) Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Yeah, but you know where Yamagata fits in around some of those prefectures daver. Up amongst the Sendai measurements right? Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 actually no, we have very different weather here to what sendai has. sendai is much more coastal where as yamagata is in the middle of a pretty small mountain valley. they have told me that because the city is in the middle of the valley the air heats up like it were in a pot. a crack pot maybe. but i don't know. they also always like to tell me that yamagata has the highest temperature ever recorded in japan. "I bet they also have: - the most delicious rice in Japan; - the most delicious ABC in Japan; - the prettiest girls in Japan etc etc (where ABC = everything)" the most delicious rice is in niigata and the prettiest girls are from akita. didn't you know that? we have the most delicious soba.

bushpig 0 Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 ah, the old heat-trap thingy eh! Yeah we have one of those here in Hiroshima too which people love to talk about how hot it gets as a result (and about how much colder it gets compared to surrounding areas in winter).

ireallylikebakedbeans 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Thats why Kofu is also the hottest place in Japan (along with lots of other places probably). Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 akita bijin. Yup, agree with that For all you peeps in Tohoku, have you hit the Kantou matsuri in Akita shi? Recommend it Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 i want to but there isn't a hotel to be found in 100km radius of the place. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Daver, do you have a car? Theres a campground about 10K outside the city (Akita) that we camped at. Same for Nebuta Matsuri too. You can camp near the harbor which was only a 20 min walk to the boardwalk in Aomori. Many of the motorcycle peeps camp there. Loads of alcohol and partyfavors to be had Link to post Share on other sites
