[Fukui] How to enjoy Fukui in October
In October in Fukui, the weather gradually becomes cooler, and it's time to start preparing for winter. Fukui has many must-see sights and events in autumn. It's famous not only for its autumn leaves, but also for its chrysanthemum doll and cosmos flower exhibitions, nighttime illumination displays, and rice harvest festivals.
When it comes to seasonal delicacies in Fukui, autumn is a very rich season. Along with rice, Echizen crab season begins on November 6th, which is something to look forward to.
So, how do people overseas spend October?
In China, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is also included in the Golden Week holiday.
October 5th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the full moon can be viewed on October 6th. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese day of family reunion, and those unable to return home eat mooncakes and gaze upon the bright moon, feeling homesick. Related to the nostalgia theme, during World War II, Japanese troops stationed in China brought many cherry tree seedlings from Japan and planted them in China, out of a longing for home. The famous cherry blossom garden at Wuhan University is now a popular spot, and every March, many tourists visit to enjoy the cherry blossoms. In fact, no matter what country you're from, when you travel far away from home, you always miss the unique flavors of home.
The end of October brings with it Halloween, a favorite among young people. It's a Western religious holiday, but young people in Japan also participate enthusiastically. How will you spend Halloween this year? Immediately following Halloween is Mexico's Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos. Similar to Japan's Obon festival, Mexicans believe that their deceased ancestors return on this day to drink, dance, and celebrate with the living. It certainly sounds like a very interesting festival.
