Coming-of-age ceremonies are events in Japan that celebrate new adults, and are held on the second Monday of January each year, known as “Coming-of-Age Day.”
In 2025, Coming-of-Age Day was on January 13th.
Currently, due to the amendment of the Civil Code, the age of majority has been lowered to 18, but many local governments still hold coming-of-age ceremonies for those who are 20 years old.
In Japan, the legal drinking age is 20 years old. Although the legal adult age was lowered to 18 years old in April 2022, the drinking age remains at 20 years old.
Since the schedule and names may vary depending on the region, it is necessary to check the information from the local government for details.
The origin dates back to the Nara period with the “genpuku” and “mogi” ceremonies. Originally, it was a ritual performed by the upper class of nobles and warriors. The current form dates back to the “Seinen-sai” in 1946. The origin of the coming-of-age ceremony where new adults gather together is said to be the “Seinen-sai” held in Warabi City, Saitama Prefecture in 1946. It spread nationwide, and January 15, 1949 was established as “Coming of Age Day.”
And in 1948, it was officially established as a national holiday.
In the United States, the age of adulthood is 18, but there are “Sweet 16” parties held at 16, with dresses and parties at hotels.
In China, adulthood is at 18. A solemn ceremony is held at school. It seems to have a similar atmosphere to Japan’s graduation ceremonies, with the national anthem and pledges.
In Nepal, the Hindu ritual “Barthaman” is performed, and the age is determined through fortune-telling, so it varies from person to person.
In South Korea, there is “Coming of Age Day” celebrating the age of 19 on the third Monday of May, and it seems common to spend it with friends or lovers.
It varies by country, but on this day, you can see many lovely and beautiful young women in gorgeous furisode kimono when visiting places like large public halls in big towns. It’s a highly recommended spot to visit.
How about including this in your travel plans for next year?
Kadomatsu is a decoration displayed at the end of the year to welcom the New Year,
believed to welcome the deity of the year.
It is generally considered good to set it up from December 25th to 28th,
and it is avoided on the 29th as “kutamachi” and on the 31st as “ichiyakazari.”
Kadomatsu is something to be placed at the entrance, and even a simple and modest one is acceptable depending on the circumstances of the region or household.
By the way, today, ！
12/30！seems to be the last day it’s okay to put it up.
I’m going to hurry and put it up.
Removal is generally on January 7th after the end of “matsunouchi,” but it varies by region.
Karatsu City faces the Sea of Genkai in the northwestern part of Kyushu, and is a scenic place nurtured by the beautiful and rich nature represented by “Niji-no-matsubara,” which is a national special scenic beauty and one of the three great pine groves in Japan.
Takachiho is a place associated with Japanese mythology.
There are many shrines enshrining deities and places that are said to be the setting of mythology, such as Ama-no-Iwato, Ama-no-Kawara, and Kushifuru-no-Mine.

There are various theories as to the origin of its name, but one well-known theory is that it came to be called “gardenia” because its fruit does not split open when ripe and its mouth does not open.
The fragrance of the gardenia is one of its main attractions. I love it！
In Japan, higanbana (higanbana) is a flower that grows in clusters alongside roads and on banks, heralding the arrival of autumn. When it comes into bloom, only the stem grows quickly and bears a single red flower, followed by the sprouting of thin leaves. For a long time, it was considered an unlucky flower in Japan, as it was planted in cemeteries and was often associated with death.
