Winter in Tokyo is very dry, it's easy to catch cold.
Flu season is just about to start too so when you come home
from outside please wash your hands with soap and
gargle that will help preventing from a nasty cold or flu.

For dry air, humidifier is very handy to add humidity at home.











It is available at most electrical appliance shops and
the price starts from around 2,000 yen for a compact size one.

Some of the new models have a special water you can even
put a drop of aromatic oil in water so you can enjoy your
favorite aroma with comfortable warm steams.

And in summer time, because it gets so humid in  Tokyo,
we have dehumidifier to ease uncomfortable dampness.

If you go to Akihabara, well-known place as the
'Electric Town' in Tokyo, check at lease 4~5 shops
to compare the price, you'll be able to find a cheaper one
than others even it's exactly the same model, or you can
ask the shop to give you a discount.  It's quite common to
ask for a discount in Akihabara so don't be shy

Wash hands, gargle and enjoy winter!
