Exploring uncharted genres and authors is like adding a pop of spice to our bookish journeys, filling them with excitement and wonder.
Grape/ Peer picking, Collect Chestnuts:
With the arrival of autumn, it’s time to immerse yourself in the harvest season’s festivities. Spend your days wandering through fields and collecting fruit such as grapes, pears, and chestnuts.

Spending time in nature can be an instant mood lifter, so why not plan a little escape for yourself?

October is also a month of indulgence, with a plenitude of seasonal treats to enjoy.
From pumpkin and sweet potato to chestnuts and persimmons, there’s no shortage of mouth-watering options to delve into. Additionally, matsutake mushrooms, sanma fish, ginkgo nuts, and fresh soba noodles are also popular fall delicacies.
