Living in Japan means you don’t just check the weather… you check which personality the country woke up with today.
Winter where I am is a bit shy—snow is rare. But when it does show up, everything goes quiet… and suddenly, I’m out here acting like it’s my first time seeing snow 😄
Then spring rolls in like the main character. All that waiting, and boom—sakura everywhere. Beautiful, dramatic, and gone before you even finish your second picnic. Japan really said, “No extensions.”
Summer? Let’s be honest—it’s hot. It’s humid. It’s character-building.
But throw in matsuri, lanterns, street food, and good company… and somehow you’re like, “Okay fine, I’ll stay.”
And then autumn slides in—cool, golden, and just showing off at this point. Bright yellow leaves, perfect weather, and for once… I can enjoy it without sneezing my way through 😌
After all these years, I’ve learned—
you don’t really plan around the seasons here…
you just go along for the ride ❄️ 🌸☀️🍁
