What's your go-to for live updates of Autumn leaves? The ones I used don't really have live updates for Saitama!

Former nickname was "Saitama". Changed it to save confusion on place review posts! Irish, 20+ years in Japan! I also write on my personal website: insaitama.com

I check with Japan Meteorological Corp. it distinguishes between "autumn" and "yellow" foliage. Their most recent forecast is here - https://n-kishou.com/corp/news-contents/autumn/?lang=en

My go-to site for this is https://tenki.jp/kouyou/ (they are also helpful in spring with the sakura). I don't know if they have an app, I just use the website version! They have a nice visual scale of where leaves are still green, where they're starting to change color, where they are at their peak, and where they are starting to fall. They also have sections where you can search for leaf spots in your region which is helpful for some inspiration!

@BigfamJapan if you do find any apps that are good though, please let us know! I think it'd be easier to have an app on my phone than have to check online from time to time.

What's on your "generic" local manhole?

My local area has some specialty manholes (including some from the Gundam manhole project not too far away!) but the most common "generic" one features mountains and watermelon. Fairly representative of the region, I think! What's on yours?

Do you have a favorite mascot?

The other day, on "Strawberry Day" I wrote about "Yoshimin", the strawberry mascot of Yoshimi. I thought it might be fun to introduce a few others, so I've just written about "Tokimo" the mascot of Kawagoe. And I plan to introduce a couple of my favorites. It begs the question, do you have a favorite mascot? And how about writing a post on City-cost about your favorite or a local mascot? Pictured "Umerin" who I plan to write about next!

Who is your hero!?

Today, January 16th, is Hero Day. Who is your favorite hero, fictional or otherwise? The first one who comes to my mind for me is a real life person; Mary Robinson, a former president of Ireland (moreover, the first female president), and a former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, among other impressive roles. I had the great pleasure of meeting her in December, a dream come true. I was trying to think about who my favorite fictional hero is. I have not come to conclusion yet! There is such a choice. Do you have one?
