Today is the national holiday Autumn Equinox Day. (Yes, this is the second holiday in Japan this week.) It became a national holiday in 1947 and marks the autumnal equinox.
It's our second public holiday this week, too. Yesterday was the national day of mourning for the Queen. Today is a state public holiday because it is the "day before the football final"!
Enjoy your free day. I guess some smart and lucky people took leave on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday to get a nine-day consecutive holiday. A good chance for travelling.
You picked a wonderful photo to share with this day!

Japan must be beautiful in fall. I hope to return some day!
