Refuge from the summer heat: Indoor places in Osaka City
パーリン
It is recommended to spend as much time indoors during the day in summer to avoid getting heatstroke. However, you still need to ensure that indoor temperatures are cool enough as it is still possible to get heatstroke when indoor temperatures are high!
If you are concerned about electricity bills from using the air-conditioner, how about spending time at indoor places outside of your home? These include cafes, libraries, museums and so on.
