Yesterday, September 25, was Jūgoya, the Harvest Moon, here in Japan.

When autumn arrives, many people think of moon viewing, pampas grass, and traditional moon-viewing dumplings.

It is one of those seasonal traditions that immediately makes it feel like autumn.

But here is something interesting.

Do you assume that:

Jūgoya = a full moon

I pretty much did too（笑）.

But apparently, Jūgoya and the astronomical full moon do not always fall on the same day.

In 2026, the Harvest Moon was yesterday, September 25, but the actual full moon will be tomorrow, September 27.

So this year, they are two days apart.

It is easy to assume that Jūgoya must mean a perfectly round full moon.

But even the moon is not quite that simple.

Knowing that makes me look at the night sky a little differently.

I find myself thinking,

“It is still getting a little fuller.”

The moon changes shape little by little every day.

Yesterday and today may look almost the same, but change is still happening.

In a way, the seasons are similar.

It feels like only recently we were still dealing with midsummer heat, but now the sun is setting earlier, and the evenings are gradually starting to feel more like autumn.

On autumn evenings like these, I also enjoy simply spending time at home.

Listening to my favorite music.

Watching movies or anime.

And as the weather gets a little cooler, taking more time in the bath starts to feel enjoyable again.

At home, I have my usual hydrogen bath.

And at night, I go to bed with my usual hydrogen inhalation.

Of course, I do not change anything special just because it is Jūgoya（笑）.

It is simply part of my everyday life.

Still, when the moon is especially beautiful, it can be nice to put down the smartphone for a moment and look up at the night sky.

Tomorrow is the full moon.

It may look just a little different from yesterday’s Jūgoya moon.

Autumn is a wonderful season for food, movies, music, and simply enjoying the night sky.

Even in the middle of busy everyday life, taking a moment to notice the season can make the day feel a little different.

Tonight, as always, I will enjoy a quiet autumn evening together with my usual hydrogen lifestyle 🌿✨
