I am deathly afraid of spiders, large ones give me panic attacks (well, large for England) and I’ve found out that there can/likely will be *big* ones in Kyoto. Thinking about seeing them in my flat is making me panic right now. I’ve taken notes on preventative measures such as window nets, mint/lemon/eucalyptus oil, anti-bug candles, but to what extent will that ensure I don’t see them? Can any Kyoto-dwelling arachnophobes weigh in/provide reassurance? Is this perhaps something I’ll just have to accept as a resident there?
