Coming of Age Day (Japan)

Coming of Age Day in Japan, known as Seijin no Hi, celebrates young adults who have reached the age of adulthood during the past year. Ceremonies are often held by local governments, and participants may wear formal or traditional clothing such as kimono. The day recognises responsibility, citizenship, family pride, and the transition into adult life.

Event Suggestions:
• Explore Seijin no Hi ceremonies, clothing, and community traditions
• Discuss coming-of-age customs from Japan and other cultures
• Create a reflection activity about responsibility, adulthood, and life milestones
