Japan Changed Seasons While I Was Away

Today’s story きょうの あらすじ
After finishing a 10-day business trip to Thailand, I got back home at 7:30 in the evening. What I heard on my way home was the sound of autumn insects. While I was away, the season had changed dramatically from summer to autumn. The next morning, although the weather forecast said it would go over 30 degrees, the sunlight and the air were soft, and it felt completely different from midsummer. Realizing how much the season had changed between when I left 10 days ago and when I came back, I truly felt once again that Japan is a country where the four seasons change. It may be a feeling I couldn't have had if I hadn't been away from Japan at this time of year.
