Have an easier time against the heat! 3 recommended summer goods

Today, I would like to introduce some summer goods that you can buy from Daiso, the 100 yen shop. They may help you have an easier time against the summer heat.

USB Fan


To help with the heat, while you have desk work, I recommend the USB fan! You will be able to use it at your desk by plugging it into the usb port of your computer/laptop.

This is the fan out of its packaging; it is tiny and kind of cute! The fan is able to swivel up and down around 90 degrees.

I plugged in the fan for a test. The office seems like a good place to use it as the fan has a limited range. Also, the winds are not too strong so you do not need to worry that your documents will fly away. In addition, you would be able to notice the sound of the fan which is relatively quiet.
Price:300 Yen(Tax Excl.)
Take note that while the fan is actually 300 yen even though it can be bought at the 100 yen shop! Also, if you by an USB AC adapter you will be able to use the fan by plugging it directly to a socket; people who want to use it in a place without a computer should consider this option.

Cool Towel


Next up is the (Cool Towel). It is made from a mesh fabric and has a nice feel to it. On days when the heat becomes unbearable, this towel may come in handy.

This is because the towels temperature drops when you wet it with water. Therefore, you will be able to pass the hot day comfortably by wrapping it around your neck; it acts as a prevention measure against heat injuries/heatstroke. The towel also has a UV prevention function, so it will be useful for those who are worried about getting sunburnt. It also comes in a wide variety of colors including green and red.
Price:100 Yen(Tax Excl.)
You should it give a try when you are going out for a jog or spectate a sports match such as baseball. It is easily available at the 100 yen shops so please have a look.

Glass Wind Chime


Wind Chimes are traditional Japanese crafts and a special feature of the Japanese summer. For close to 1000 years, it has be loved in Japan for its beautiful sounds; well-made chimes can cost up to 5000 yen but you can be them at the 100 yen shops too.

The chimes come in many designs ranging from fireworks and gold fishes but I chose a simple one as shown in the picture; I think it is really cute.

You should hang it by the window as per the picture. When the wind blows, the chime tinkles gently making it perfect for summer. It may also make a good souvenir to bring back home.

Price:100 Yen(Tax Excl.)
Why not enjoy Japan’s summer through your ears and the delightful sounds of wind chimes? As mentioned, there are many designs so feel free to look for one that you like.

How did you like the products introduced today? Today we have these 3 products for you. Also, all of them are easily available, so please get some to help you enjoy Japan’s summer.
