Falling in early October, Tsukimi (moon viewing) is an essential part of Japan’s autumn festival. Originating from Chinese traditions, the festival evolved in Japan into a special occasion to give thanks for the harvest, savor the beauty of the full moon, and spend quality time with family and friends.
A Meaningful Autumn Tradition
Seasonal foods such as tsukimi dango (sweet rice dumplings) and taro are often served as offerings and symbols of good fortune during this festival. The atmosphere of Tsukimi is also enlivened by decorations of pampas grass (susuki), other seasonal delights like chestnuts and edamame, and even modern twists such as the tsukimi\ burger found at many fast-food restaurants. For the Japanese, this moment is not just about gazing at the moon; it’s about strengthening family bonds, sharing gratitude, and enjoying the warmth of togetherness.
For Indonesian visitors, Tsukimi offers a unique experience when traveling to Japan. An autumn holiday feels even more special when you can participate in this meaningful tradition while savoring the distinctive local cuisine. Many expatriate families also celebrate Tsukimi together in Japan, making it a moment full of nostalgia and shared togetherness.
