Autumn signs on Shubun no Hi

Yesterday was blistering, a bona fide belter, but today, on a national holiday named Shubun no Hi (Autumnal Equinox Day), it’s suitably cooler and comfortingly less clammy.

Plus, regardless of how warm it will once again get, there are now some serious signs that fall isn’t all that far away.

      It was such a small and slightly rundown shrine that I think most of the time it lacks a priest let alone a beautiful shrine girl!

    The Equinox is a National Holiday? That’s amazing.

      Yes. Some holidays such as Greenery Day and Marine Day are modern inventions, but this holiday has a much longer history.
