About New Years In Japan

  Japanese New Year

New Years(正月) is a celebration to mark the start of the year. New Years in Japan used to be on the first day of the Lunar Calendar but, since the Meiji Restoration, it has been celebrated on 1 January instead. Celebrations usually start on 31 December and run through until 1 January.

A prime example of this is the ship girls wearing haregi, a formal kimono worn during special occasions like the New Year shrine visit (Hatsumode).

Additionally, there are some games and activities performed over the course of the New Year. For example, shrine visits (hatsumode), fortune telling (omikuji), families giving money to their children, and Japanese badminton (hanetsuki).
