It has the meaning of giving thanks for the autumn harvest while admiring the harvest moon. “March viewing” Jugoya / Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon: September 17, 2024 (August 15 of the lunar calendar) Thirteenth Night: October 15, 2024 (September 13 of the lunar calendar) Tokanya: November 10, 2024 (October 10 in the lunar calendar) Harvests unique to each season are offered, such as taro on the 15th night, chestnuts and beans on the 13th night, and rice and mochi on the 10th night. It is customary to bring offerings down and eat them after offering them to the moon. “Tokayo” is an event similar to Halloween in Japan. It is said that on this day, the god of rice fields returns to the mountains, and it is customary for children to sing and pound the ground with mallets made of straw, going from house to house, receiving sweets and gifts. It has been said since ancient times that it is good luck if the weather is clear on the 15th, 13th, and 10th nights and you can see the moon.
