''Shanichi'' dates can vary by as much as 5 days.
''Chūgen'' has a fixed day. All other days can vary by one day.

Many ''zassetsu'' days occur in multiple seasons:
* {{nihongo||土用|Doyō}} refers to the 18 days before each season, especially the one before fall which is known as the hottest period of a year.
* {{nihongo||彼岸|Higan}} is the seven middle days of spring and autumn, with ''Shunbun'' at the middle of the seven days for spring, ''Shūbun'' for fall.
* {{nihongo||社日|Shanichi}} is the {{nihongo||戊|Tsuchinoe}} day closest to ''Shunbun'' (middle of spring) or ''Shūbun'' (middle of fall), which can be as much as 5 days before to 4 days after ''Shunbun''/''Shūbun''.

The term {{nihongo||節分|[[Setsubun]]}} originally referred to the eves of {{nihongo3|315°, the beginning of Spring|立春|[[Risshun]]}}, {{nihongo3|45°, the beginning of Summer|立夏|[[Lixia|Rikka]]}}, {{nihongo3|135°, the beginning of Autumn|立秋|[[Risshū]]}}, and {{nihongo3|225°, the beginning of Winter|立冬|[[Lidong|Rittō]]}}; however, it now only refers to the day before {{tlit|ja|Risshun}}.
