Yesterday was the longest day of the year, or summer solstice. It’s the day where we have the most hours of daylight. Here in Japan, I noticed that it started to get dark at 7:00PM yesterday. In Ireland, however, the sun sets at around 9:30PM on this day. The sun rises at about 4:30AM, so there are 17 hours of daylight! It feels strange to walk around outside in broad daylight at 9.00PM. This is in stark contrast to Ireland’s dark winter solstice. On December 21st, the sun rises at 8:30AM and sets at 3:50PM, giving us only around 7 hours of daylight! We have very bright summers and dark winters in my home country. In Ireland it can rain during any season, be it summer or winter. There is no rainy season, and we just have to accept that it can be wet at any time. The rainy season has begun here in Fuji. It’s very humid and we are getting frequent showers. Once the cloud clears next month, it will stay hot and humid for another few months.
Here at Hario we are taking signings for our private summer vacation classes. You can get a head start on your English over the vacation with conversation and grammar classes, so sign up today!

朝4時半頃に太陽が昇りますので、17時間程、日の光を受けることになります。夜の9時頃、日中のように外を歩けるのは不思議な感じもします
冬至のアイルランドとはとてつもなく対照的です。12月21日には、太陽が出るのが8時半頃、そして沈むのが3時50分ころなんです
なので冬至では7時間くらいしか日が出ないんですね。このように私の母国はとても明るい夏と、暗い冬があります。またアイルランドでは夏でも冬でもいつでも雨が降ります。特に梅雨のような時期はなく、何時でも雨に濡れる覚悟をしておかなければなりません
富士では梅雨の季節がやってきました。蒸し暑くなり、雨の日が多くなっています。来月に入り、雲がはれればさらに暑い季節が数ヶ月続きます。
