Mountain Day, August 11, is the newest of Japan's holidays, first kept in 2016: a day to get close to the mountains and be grateful for them. Nearly three quarters of Japan is mountains.

The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

The most dependable shower of the year, on warm summer nights in the north.
