I am writing about how to spend New Year’s Eve on December 31st for those who have come from overseas.

大晦日　OHーMISOKA

Meaning and Origin of New Year’s Eve.


New Year’s Eve has been a tradition since the 平安時代Heian period (794-1185), and began as a day of preparation for welcoming the 歳神様”Toshigami-sama,” or God of the Year.

It comes from “Misoka,” which means the last day of the month in the lunar calendar, and represents the end of the year.

Major New Year’s Eve Traditions
Japanese people hold the following traditional events on New Year’s Eve:

①年越し蕎麦　Soba

New Year’s Eve Soba: to break the hardships of the year and wish for a long life


– Ringing of the temple bell: 108 bells are rung to remove all worldly desires.

除夜の鐘


②Cleaning: Preparation for the New Year

大掃除

③Watching NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen

NHK紅白歌合戦を観る

New Year’s Eve is a special day for Japanese people to reflect on the year and welcome the new year with hope.

Japanese people spend their time in this way. Of course, there are people who work, and each person has various ways of spending their time.

For those going to Nara this summer! Are you good at scooping goldfish?

金魚すくいは得意ですか⁇

大会があるんだ！

金魚の発見:::約2000年前、中国南部地方で野生のフナの中ら赤色のものが発見され、これが原種となり今日金魚と呼ばれるものに。日本には1502年、室町時代中頃、中国から渡来したというのが定説。当時は貴族、富豪の珍奇な愛玩物として飼われ、庶民の間で流行したのは、明治時代になってから。

About 2,000 years ago, a red-colored crucian carp was discovered among wild crucian carp in southern China.

It is believed that the goldfish was introduced to Japan from China in 1502 during the Muromachi period (1336-1573). At that time, goldfish were exclusively kept by aristocrats and wealthy people as curious pets, and it is said that it was during the Meiji period (1868-1912) that they became popular among the general public.

The origin of goldfish cultivation in Yamato Koriyama City is said to date back to 1724, when Marquis Kiri Yanagisawa entered Yamato Koriyama from Kai (Yamanashi Prefecture).
