September usually has 2 national holidays; the Respect for the Aged Day and Autumn Equinox, and this year, we have an extra holiday between two holidays.
The respect for the Aged Day is the third Monday of September, and Autumn Equinox is the 23rd of September. Then, 22nd is the Bridge Public holiday, meaning in between the two holidays.

I went out of town to visit our friends lodge in the South Alps mountains, just 3 hours away from the metropolitan area.
Trees and leaves are just getting to change their colors and cool enough to put on a jacket.
Water is very nice and tasty, no chlorine, no artificial purification.
In mountain area, one of the typical food is "Soba noodle", made of buckwheat.
Black things on the top of Soba noodle are sea weed.
Usually, we dip Soba noodle into soy sauce base soup, and fried shrimp and /or fried vegetables are good side dishes to Soba noodle.
A donkey, ducks and a chicken (maybe hen) are playing around outside of cages.
It looks very "natural".
