Japan is home to countless seasonal events throughout the year. Among them, however, New Year holidays, called “Oshogatsu,” are still the most important.
New Year’s, or oshogatsu, is one of Japan’s most important and longest holidays. Although oshogatsu originally referred to the whole month of January, most people associate it with the first three days (sanga nichi) of the month.
As Japan starts to enter the holiday season, you’ll notice many of the country’s parks buildings and gardens are set ablaze with brilliant and elaborate illumination displays to help ring in the holiday spirit.
As New Year’s Eve approaches, there’s no place like home to celebrate the arrival of a fresh year. With the ongoing uncertainty in the world, opting for a cozy and memorable home celebration is a fantastic idea.
