Japanese has more specific ways to count stuffs. Example as written below.

SEASONS
While we were typing about this part, we imagined about a famous RPG Game Harvest Moon : Back to Nature. Seems familiar? Hahaha..... we love that game much and we think a lot of people in the world do too.
Spring (Haru ) March - May
As everybody could imagine, sakura is a main attraction in this season. Mostly international tourists come to have a sakura viewing (hanami 花見). Everyhing is so interesting with warm weather.
Summer (Natsu ) June - August
Hot but full of excitements. Many festivals will be held in summer and fireworks festival is the most favourite as drawn in mangas too. But beware! August is extremely hot and it could reach to 35 degrees of Celcius.
Autumn (Aki ) September – November
Leaves turns to orange color and begin to fall. In September, the weather becomes warmer again then colder when it reaches the beginning of winter.
Winter (Fuyu ) December - February
Usually tourists get here in winter to play ski or for attending snow festivals such as Snow Festival Sapporo. Truly, winter could spend more costs because you have to bring a lot of jackets that could affects to your baggage fee and you may eat more than usual portion as more calories are needed for your energy.
