I'm digging it. I don't start getting woken up by by sunlight at 4am unlike the height of summer. Being in coastal northeastern Japan, I really think we need to move the time zone by an hour or two so the sun comes up closer to 5 or 6 in summer.

I do lament our lack of summer this year. We had the rainiest weather on record in many parts of Japan. Days and weeks without a rainless day.

    This is my go to argument when people say daylight saving is a pain. When I first came to Japan and left a late night bar at 3 to find the sky getting first light I was dismayed. 430 sunrise is far too early.

    Yep. At the height of summer, I can walk around outside at 3ish in my super-countryside area and see well enough to start doing farm work.

    At 3am??? Nightmarish to my brain. 3am is so firmly in the "it is always dark at that hour" I'm not sure what I'd do being confronted with sunrise then. I think sunrise here at its earliest was around 545?
