What's a Japanese autumn tradition you've really come to love?

I mentioned in a blog yesterday that one of the things I love about autumn is the yakiimo warmers that pop up in convenience stores, supermarkets, and farmer's markets at this time of year. What's an autumn tradition that you've come to love during your years here? It could be anything...food-related things, autumn festivals you really enjoy, or possibly something else entirely!

Autumn travel trends in Japan, and where you might opt for instead

I saw a press release this week from the travel platform Agoda about travel trends in Japan for autumn. The biggest jumps in searches since last year were for Kagawa Prefecture, Shizuoka Prefecture, Hyogo Prefecture, and Hiroshima Prefecture. Have you visited any of those places in autumn, or maybe even lived (or currently living!) there? Any places you might opt for instead?

Job-related platforms that get you attention?

I'm on LinkedIn and get some positive attention from employers. I'm also on Hello Sensei, a platform for English tutoring. Occasionally, I get bites from employers. I get that we, City Cost correspondents, are in different fields. But which outlets do you use to broaden you employement prospects?
