Pollen Information

Spring should be the best season in Japan, with the exception of the rising number of pollen produced by mainly the cedar trees that causes hay fever (Japanese: 花粉症) for some people (including me, unfortunately no ) .

kafun no jyouhou wo miru

That’s where the following website: http://kafun.taiki.go.jp/, that provides the information to the concentration of pollen around Japan, can be very useful. I will know when do I really have to put my mask on, and when it is wiser to just stay at home to minimize contact with the pollens ) .

Further information on hay-fever:

  1. Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hay_fever
  2. “Allergy Season Arrives“, webjapan.org, March 2000
  3. Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s page on pollen information.
  4. The library section of the web mentioned above.

Additional note: Even monkeys are also affected by this pollens [via JapanProbe]. Poor animals no .
