One-third of the Japanese people are suffered from pollen allergy (according to the survey of Weather News).
During pollen season -February, March and April, they have these symptoms like itchy eyes, nose, runny nose, sneezing, and teary eyes.

Most of them are especially allergy to Japanese cedar pollen.

To prevent them from getting worse, there are all kinds of anti-pollen products.
The most popular items are three dimensional masks and goggles.

It may be weird to see a lot of people wearing masks and goggles on a street of Japan for foreign visitors.

There are also products like this, nose filter. Since it’s put inside of nose, others can’t see it.

With this nose filter, you can show your expression, talk and eat.
The good thing about it is this filter cuts 99 percents of pollen.
I wish you got a little idea of how Japanese people are desperate to prevent the allergy.
