October is the designated time for koromo-gae or "clothes-changing," when everyone in the country suddenly switches from summer to winter mode, including every student changing from summer to winter school uniform on the same day.
October is the month you can enjoy koyo ("crimson leaves") as the trees gradually change color. It's also the month for tsukimi, or moon-viewing, popular since the Heian Period (794-1185). October 3rd is the most popular time for moon-viewing, called juugo-ya.
