A calendar for any day
See Gregorian and Japanese era dates, the traditional lunisolar date, solar terms, the 72 microseasons, moon phase and age, and rokuyō. Holidays, observances and applicable calendar annotations appear on the same page. Browse adjacent days or choose a date directly. Past dates also show elapsed time, age and the number of days until the next birthday.
Browse seasonal changes
The seasonal timeline lists changes in solar terms and microseasons, lunar events, holidays, observances and calendar annotations in date order. Choose which information to show or hide.
Understand calendar terms
Tap a calendar item to read its dictionary entry. Learn its pronunciation, meaning, cultural context and the method adopted by the app. Traditional calendar annotations are not combined into a luck score or prediction.
On your Home Screen and watch face
Small and Medium Home Screen widgets, Lock Screen widgets, Apple Watch complications and Smart Stack widgets provide finished layouts for dates, calendar and seasonal information, the moon, and an overview. The Watch app shows daily calendar information with illustrations and access to adjacent days.

Based on Japan Standard Time
Calendar information is calculated locally using Japan Standard Time. Date lookup covers October 23, 1868 through December 31, 2117. Results apply the app’s adopted rules; they are not a complete reconstruction of historical printed calendars.
