Readers’ Corner: Japan Has Six Seasons
Mr. Jarrell wrote that Japan has five seasons. The fifth season is the rainy season in June and July. That is called “tsuyu.” I agree that “tsuyu” should be considered the fifth season, but I would like add one more season. There is another rainy season in September and October called “akisame.” The weather in “akisame” is just like the weather in “tsuyu.” It rains a lot and gets humid. If you consider “tsuyu” to be a season, then “akisame” must also be considered a season, so we can say that Japan has six seasons. Don’t you think so?
