Japan's Rainy Season Warning: The 'Subway 2' Danger, Especially for Kids
The rainy season in Japan runs from late May to early July each year, and many people are reluctant to go out in the rain. However, this time frame poses specific safety concerns for children. The Facebook page 'Japanese Uncle in Taiwan' has warned parents to be particularly cautious when taking children outside.
Reports indicate that many Japanese people carry umbrellas with the tip pointing towards the back, which can be very dangerous as the tip may be at the eye level of children. In light of this, the page issued a warning, especially when using stairs in public places like subways, urging parents to watch out for the safety of their children.
Additionally, incidents such as people slipping down stairs or accidentally dropping luggage frequently occur during this season. Experts call on both locals and visitors to avoid using their cell phones while using stairs to prevent unexpected accidents.
