When there are many seasonal patterns, rainy or cloudy days, the moon may not be visible, and it is said that it is a good luck if all nights are clear and you can see the moon.

Fifteenth night: New calendar September 10, 2022
Thirteen Nights: New calendar October 8, 2022
The night of the tenth: New calendar 2022 is November 3rd

The 15th night is also called "Mid-Autumn Moon" or "Imon Moon", and it is a Japanese traditional event who prays and appreciates for a good harvest in autumn while watching the moon.

Thirteen nights are also called "Kurinamezuki" or "Mamenamezuki" because they celebrate the harvest with chestnuts and green soybeans.

The night of the 10th is a day to pray for the harvest of next year by offering rice cakes and other things that celebrate the harvest of rice. It is said that all rice harvesting is over, and the gods of rice fields return to the mountains.
