1.
summer resort; retreat from the heat
A place, typically in the mountains or at higher elevations, where people go to escape the summer heat. These areas are naturally cooler than cities.
Cultural note
Famous Japanese summer resorts include 軽井沢 (Karuizawa), 那須 (Nasu), and 箱根 (Hakone). The concept became popular during the Meiji era when foreign residents and Japanese elite began retreating to the mountains in summer. These areas typically feature cooler temperatures, forests, and a relaxed atmosphere.
