It was Autumnal Equinox Day today.
We had a very hot and long summer this year. The temperature went up over 30 degrees until mid September. We at last felt the change of the season this week.
I visited central Tokyo to feel the capital’s autumn.
I walked around Hibiya Park. The park lies south of the Imperial Palace. The other directions are surrounded by the government offices in Kasumigaseki and business and commercial buildings in Hibiya.
There are Japanese gardens, ponds, and western flower gardens in the park. The singing of insects was heard. Tokyo people as well as foreign tourist were enjoying the season.
I also walked around the Imperial Palace along its moats. The banks of the palace were green and swans and other water birs were swimming elegantly.
I met joggers every 30 seconds in my about an hour walk. Jogging was said to be a boom ten years ago. Now It is becoming a part of daily lived for many Tokyo people.
