Almost all countries have their own holidays with unique characteristics and personality. Also Japan has its own original holidays. “Coming of Age Day” (Seijin-no Hi) is a Japanese traditional holiday. On this holiday, Japanese people celebrate those who are becoming an adult and they wear Japanese traditional clothes. “Respect for The Aged Day” is a very important day for Japanese people. Especially on this day, Japanese people think about social welfare issues, such as the matter of a falling birth rate and an aging population. “Marin Day” and “Mountain Day” symbolize the start to an amazing summer.
