Mountain Day

Today, August 11th is Mountain Day.

The purpose of Mountain Day is "to obtain an opportunity to become familiar with mountains, and to thank to benefits of the mountains."

Actually, the day is not derived from events related to mountains.

Some organizations such as Japanese Alpine Club had requested the establishment of Mountain Day since 2010, then the day was finally enacted in 2014 and executed from 2016.

Therefore, today is the first Mountain Day.

At first, some people thought that Mountain Day should be June along to the mountain climbing season.

However, since it was convenient for many people to connect the day to Bon vacation, it became August.

By the way, summer vacation of my university has started from yesterday, I have little relevance to Mountain Day.

今日、8月11日は山の日です。

山の日は、「山に親しむ機会を得て、山の恩恵に感謝する」ことを趣旨とした日です。

実は、山に関する出来事などには特に由来していません。

日本山岳会などの団体が2010年から制定を要求し、2014年に制定され、2016年から施行されました。

すなわち、今日は最初の山の日です。

最初は山開きに合わせて6月にしようとしていたそうですが、8月のお盆休みと繋げたほうが都合が良いことから、8月になったようです。

ちなみに、私の大学は8月10日から一斉休暇だったため、山の日の影響はありません。
