The rainy season in Japan lasts from late May to early July each year, leading many to avoid going out in the wet weather. During this time, the Facebook page ‘Japanese Ojisan – Japanese living in Taiwan’ warns travelers to Japan to be especially cautious, particularly parents with small children.

According to the page, many Japanese hold umbrellas with the tip pointed backward, which can be dangerous, especially for children’s eyes. After the post was shared, it attracted widespread attention and discussion.

Additionally, the page shared images showing that many office workers in major cities use this method of holding umbrellas, and extra care is needed when navigating stairs in the subway to protect children’s safety. In this rainy season, slips and falls on stairs, as well as accidents involving luggage, are frequent occurrences. Thus, the page calls for everyone, both locals and tourists, to avoid using their phones while going up the stairs to prevent sudden dangers.

The post sparked lively discussions among netizens, with many sharing similar experiences and precautions.
