Got to check also that the milk has been pasteurised. Errr... is this generally so for the fresh milk in Japan? How to tell ... usually written in Japanese, right? And what is the term for pasteurised in Japanese? :?

you may find them written in chinese characters as 低温殺菌or just 殺菌

Can get a little hot in the later part of June. I prefer the cooler seasons - autumn and spring as it is so refreshing. Or Winter - great weather for relaxing in a nice hot onsen (hot spring). If you don't mind weather like we have here then it is fine.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I agree that cooler weather will be nicer.... We did Nov last year and it was quite nice.

Just back from hokkaido. Such beautiful snowy weather. Snowed almost everywhere. Winter wonderland!!! And not very cold in reality.
