Enjoy coolness through visuals and sound with Atmoph Window

Hello, this is Shigehiro from E-Commerce Marketing. The summer heat is relentless these days in Japan. While cooling the room with an air conditioner is effective, it can make your electricity bill skyrocket. I’m constantly experimenting with other ways to feel cooler.

If you can relate, why not use Atmoph Window to bring a sense of coolness into your room through visuals and sounds? In this article, I’ll introduce five views perfect for summer, featuring the soothing sounds of rivers, lush green trees, the refreshing chirping of insects, the cool underwater world, and snowy landscapes.


Kawadoko in Kibune 1

Kawadoko, a summertime tradition in Kyoto, is known for its cooling effects. The sound of flowing water and the vibrant green surroundings offer a refreshing sensation.

In the background of the scene, you can see platforms set up above the river. These platforms, available from May to September, allow visitors to cool off with their feet in the river while enjoying a meal – a quintessential summer experience in Kyoto.

I’ve never experienced Kyoto’s kawadoko myself, but watching it makes me want to visit Kyoto.


Evening Cicadas Calling in the Forest

Be sure to play the video and listen to the sounds. The chirping of higurashi evokes images of rural evening scenes, bringing a sense of coolness – or is it just me?

Unlike the lively minmin and kumazemi cicadas that sing in the intense daytime heat, higurashi sing during the cooler, dim times before sunrise or after sunset, or when it’s about to rain, often in cool forests.

Thinking that higurashi might dislike the heat as much as I do gives me a strange sense of kinship with them.


Moon Jellyfish at Kyoto Aquarium

One of the most popular views on Atmoph Window, the “Moon Jellyfish at Kyoto Aquarium.”

Many people visit the aquarium specifically to see the jellyfish. Watching them gracefully float in the water is soothing. The bubbling underwater sounds make you feel as if you’re submerged in water.

Playing the jellyfish scene in a slightly darkened room makes the underwater experience feel even more real.


Rain in Yanaginuma Pond 2

At Atmoph Window, rainy scenes are just as popular as sunny ones.

The humid rainy season in Japan can be a bit depressing, but many find the sight and sound of rain through a virtual window to be calming and reassuring.

While we can’t control the weather like gods, Atmoph Window allows you to experience both sunny and rainy days.


Danjo Garan Temple Complex in Snow

If you can feel the rain on a sunny day, you can also experience snowy landscapes in the hot summer. This might even make you feel “cold” rather than just “cool.”

Just watching the snow quietly falling might lower your body temperature a bit. Viewing snowy scenes on a hot summer day is a unique way to use Atmoph Window.


In this article, I’ve only introduced five scenes, but there are many more, including flowing rivers, rainy scenes, underwater views, and snowy landscapes.

With Atmoph Window, you can create your own playlist of favorite scenes. Make a playlist that brings you a sense of coolness and get through the hot summer.
