Hi ,
We hope you are keeping well as we continue to practice good hygiene and physical distancing to keep everyone safe and stop the spread of COVID-19 in Australia and New Zealand.
September marks the official start of autumn in Japan and although the weather can still be quite warm in many parts of the country, it does bring some relief from the heat of summer. Synonymous with the spectacular display of autumn colours that dot the landscape, autumn is also known as the season for food, sport, outdoor activities and art, and is a great time for exploring.
