raining watermelons and capsicums

I'd like to think that there isn't a cloud in the sky as the sun goes down.

Japan is a tropical island nation so expect high humidity and tropical storms.

I was stuck on an island near Panama once during a tropical storm, near where they shot one of the first seasons of Survivor. Standing outside for about 3 seconds was like having a bucket of water poured on you. It felt nice though, the rain was warm.

It depends on where exactly it's located.

>tropical storms.

Like random rains or ice falling from sky during very hot day? That's something cool because it's better than terribly dry summers

They are in Japan. Marisa has said in the games "Speak Japanese" and "I'll stick to Japanese food". Where in Japan is anyone's guess. I remember a thread awhile back that had google map searches for the location of the shrine.

Gensokyo is most Japanese Japan. More Japanese than other Japan.

>>7390170
Japan is a big place.

>>7390170

I always thought Gensokyo was in some kind of bubble dimension and wasn't actually part of the world at all. I suppose thats pretty silly.

>>7390170
Most Gensokyo inhabitants are of Japanese descent and some dialect of Japanese is probably the common language there. But Gensokyo is in another dimension, not in Japan.

>>7390202
But that's wrong.
It's near the Hakurei shrine.
Someone told me once where exactly that shrine is located in the real japan but I forgot about it

>>7390197
It most likely is. The boundary probably causes Gensokyo to not exist in this world. For all we know, the current land in this dimension that would hold Gensokyo otherwise could be a residential district. ZUN's house could be the present shrine.

>>7390202
Gensokyo is inside barrier (aka. "bubble"). Hakurei shrine is something like border of that barrier connecting this to "our world". World of Gensokyo itself is in other (alternative) dimension.

I wonder if they have air conditioners or fans in Gensokyo.

Because so hot place would cause most people and youkais to drop dead in few days...

>>7390297

Maybe that's how every conflict is started, they through shitfits over not having fans.

>>7390297
They use ghosts as air conditioners

Guys.
Gensokyo isn't real.

It's not like that. Gensokyo is in Japan (just like, say, Moon Capital is on the moon). Some call it a pocket dimension, but the border actually just separates reality from myth, common sense from all things supernatural. The geography and landmarks are the same in both worlds. It's probably best to call it an alternative reality.

Pic related, this is how Yukari sees the border.

"wait, you were serious? let me laugh even harder" and other incredible stories

>>7390334
Hey. Stop that.

>>7390343
The air in Gensokyo is cleaner, so the weather is probably not conterminous with the outside.

>>7390364
Well, PCB alone, with its overly long winter, proves that beyond any doubt.

The climate, on the other hand, should be exactly the same. Save maybe the fraction of degree added by global warming since the creation of the barrier.

>>7390297
Ghost in a jar. No, I shit you not, it was in Sangatsusei. Both Reimu and the Three Mischievous Fairies caught themselves a ghost, bound it to an object (a jar with charms plastered all over it in Reimus case) and used their supernatural aura of chill for air conditioning. Then Youmu comes and bitches that people shouldn't turn ghosts into toys.

>>7390388
And in bigger swarms, they can act as refrigerators, too.

So I wanted to have cold house in Gensokyo I would have to keep a lot of Ghosts in Jars... Interesting

We are talking about old china here. So no air conditioners. It's spring and it's turning into summer. So it must be hot weather. Some rain now and then. And low pressures keep
Coming from the west.

Please don't make toys out of ghosts!

>>7390427
fine make toys out of half ghosts

>>7390432

>>7390432
Careful.

I moved to Japan 2 months ago. It rains without warning. It's muggy almost all the time. Tropical storms/typhoons exacerbate the rain problem. There are sporadic earthquakes, and this is not a quip at the earthquake/tsunami that just hit.

This is what Gensokyo must be like.

Most of outside is under water now.. and we have had Winter and Summer at the same time this month.. All so fucking tornados and huge chunks of ice falling from the sky. I think Gensokyo is fucking with my weather.

>>7390500
Also, I have an allergic reaction to the locals. The last time I let one touch me, I broke out in hives.

You would probably be miserable in Gensokyo.

>>7390510
Are Japanese people causing allergy for you?

It might be because they have different set of diseases than you.
