Today is rikka (立夏), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. Last one was kokuu (穀雨) on April 20 and the next one is shoman (小満) on May 21. Rikka literally means stand summer, it is the first day of summer by the old calendar.
Yesterday it was fine and warm, but today it was cloudy and slightly rain and partially fine. Depends on the place it looked like summer but other places it was unlike summer rather cool.
I enjoyed the trip to Ise visiting very famous shrines, eating very delicious foods, meeting nice people, staying at a reasonable hotel with hot spring bath, and so on.
