In Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The standee in the plaza is also different between regions. In Japanese versions, it is a table with dango on that is being overlooked by a mountain and a moon. In the North American version, it's a scarecrow in a farm field overlooking the Autumn Moon.

In the Japanese version, the event is referred to as Tsukimi (お月見, Otsukimi^?), while the Korean version refers to it as Chuseok (추석 Chuseok).
