In Japan, most hay fever or "Kafunsho" is caused by pollen from Crtptomeria japonica(cedar) and Japanese cypress. If you are recently experiencing red, swollen watery eyes, excessive sneeze, itchy throat, etc., it might be because of an allegy from increasing exposure to cedar pollen.

Japanese media regularly report on the development of pollen season around this time of the year.
Forecast says the early and middle periods of March will likely to mark the peak of the cedar pollen counts of 2018 in Nagoya.

There are many products available that help people deal with the "Kafunsho".

Wearing surgical mask is one of the most common ways to protect your mouth and nose from pollen, which subdues symptoms such as sneeze and runny nose.

Using air-purifier to reduce the amount of pollen and improve indoor environment is also an effective way to deal with "Kafunsho".
