[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The humidity is one thing. The other thing to consider is the way they have the AC set - very high (i.e. like 78 or 80). That includes on the shink (bullet train); super not comfortable. In a western style hotel like an Okura branch or Intercontinental you can control your AC. [/quote] The reason for this is after the Fukushima disaster, they were running short on power. The government mandated all buildings set thermostats to 78, and encouraged companies to relax dress codes so wearing short-sleeve button-downs to work and no jacket was ok for the salarymen. At buildings that draw an international crowd (like a convention center), theyw ill often have a sign near the door explaining why they set the thermostats high. [/quote]
