Japan's Coming of Age Day
The
second Monday in January is set aside to welcome Japan's new adults,

the honorees dress in traditional kimono (although a business suit is
also also okay for men) and girls get their hair done in elaborate

young adults have parties. Attendance may be down this year, as heavy snowfall has slammed eastern Japan, including Tokyo. More
