It's been a long time since we've been told that this summer is extremely hot, but I'd like to introduce you to Coolness, located in the spacious Ark Tategamori Ranch.

In the shade of a large tree on the ranch.

It is said that the reason why the shade of a tree feels cooler than the sun is because the tree not only blocks the heat of the sun, but also lowers the surrounding temperature through transpiration from the leaves.

In addition, the temperature difference between the shade and the sun creates a breeze, making you feel even cooler. According to estimates by the Ministry of the Environment, shade reduces solar radiation by about 80% and infrared radiation by about 60%, resulting in a perceived temperature drop of about 6°C.

Furthermore, it is said that for every 1 m/s of wind speed, the perceived temperature drops by approximately 1°C.

Even on a hot day with a maximum temperature of 35°C, the perceived temperature in the shade is below 28°C.

What's more, the breeze is literally natural and pleasant.

You won't get sick from the air conditioning.

It's a bit of a luxurious time.
