Four Seasons in Japan



Konichiwaa… What do you know about Japan, Guys? Sakura, I bet!
Well, Sakura only bloom in a season.
Do you know about Japan’s season?

Haru  はる


Haru is a Spring season in Japan. The special activity during the Spring is Hanami, a Japanese traditional custom to see the beautiful Sakura together. Usually, they visit a park with their family or friends, then sit together under the tree on a carpet, at the same time they enjoy their bento. The bloom of Sakura shift to the other part, this shift called “cherry blossom front” which announced by the Meteorological Agency. 



 
Natsu なつ
Natsu is a summer season in Japan. In the night of summer, many people visit a festival to celebrate Natsu. They go to such night market and wear their Yukata to see the hanabi (firework) together. Do you know what is Yukata? It is a kind of Kimono that worn in a non formal condition. Yukata will be worn using obi, it is a wide belt around the stomach and also hadajuban, the undergarment of Yukata.



Aki   あき
Aki is an Autumn season in Japan. The Maple tree is a fabulous Autumn color! Unlike the Cherry Blossom that only last for a week, Autumn color can be seen for a couple of weeks and easier to find than the Cherry Blossom. The koyo (red leaves) can be seen at the end of autumn, it is very breathtaking!
 
Fuyu ふゆ 
Fuyu is a winter season in Japan. Skiing is a good thing to do during this season. FYI, during the Winter season, Snow Monkeys go down to the valley to soak their body onto an onsen, a natural hot spring in Japan. As you know, Japan is a volcanically active country and has many onsen. There’s an onsen that used for the people, either for public or private for multi gender or one gender.
