Oof, 41°C / 106°F with 80+ humidity is brutal. I can just imagine little to no winds and that air just sitting. I plan on visiting Japan someday but am definitely avoiding going during the peak summer months.

I always tell people to go in late autumn or March-ish (but avoid cherry blossom season unless you like insane crowds). Maybe a bit warmer times if you're doing mountain climbing or something
Late autumn sounds perfect actually and it coincides with my birthday. I enjoy the immersion so I'd go for at least a month, hopefully longer if my job can allow it. :D
It's unfortunately killing their beautiful gardens, especially the moss. So go and see them as soon as you can.
It's supposed to be 33 again Friday (and probably still like 90% humidity as it was today). I moved out of Tokyo to get away from that nonsense. I'm slightly worried I didn't move far enough north
I'm so grateful that I had a chance to live in Japan before its climate became completely unbearable. Summers there were already rough.
