National Foundation Day is a special holiday in Japan celebrated on February 11th. It reminds people of the creation of the nation a long time ago. On this day, people think about their country and feel proud of being Japanese. They remember the first emperor, Emperor Jimmu, who started ruling many years ago. It's like a big birthday party for Japan. People hang flags, have little parades, and spend time with family. Some might visit places like shrines to think about Japan's history and how lucky they feel to live there. It's a fun way to celebrate Japanese culture and tradition.
