今日きょうは「秋分しゅうぶんの日ひ」でした!祝日しゅくじつだったので多おおくの人ひとは仕事しごとが休やすみだったと思おもいます😊

秋分しゅうぶんの日ひには「お彼岸ひがん」という行事ぎょうじがあります。お彼岸ひがんにはお墓はかまいりをして、ご先祖せんぞさまに感謝かんしゃをします。

また、この時期じきには「おはぎ」という甘あまい食たべ物ものもよく食たべます。もち米ごめとあんこで作つくられていて、とても人気にんきがありますよ🙌

秋あきになって涼すずしくなると、外そとで過すごす時間じかんが増ふえるので、ぜひキャンプやハイキングをしてみたいです(一回いっかいもしたことがないです😆)
みなさんも日本にほんの秋あきを楽たのしんでくださいね!🍂

【English Translation】

Today was the Autumn Equinox Day! Since it was a national holiday, I think many people had the day off from work.

Autumn Equinox Day is the first day when autumn begins. From around September 23 every year, the nights gradually get longer, and the weather becomes cooler. Today was also a pleasant day!

On Autumn Equinox Day, there is an event called Ohigan. During Ohigan, people visit graves and give thanks to their ancestors.

Also, during this time, people often eat a sweet food called ohagi. It is made with glutinous rice and sweet red bean paste, and it’s very popular.

When autumn comes and the weather gets cooler, people spend more time outdoors. I’d like to try camping or hiking (though I’ve never done it before!).
Everyone, please enjoy autumn in Japan too!
