"Seijin no Hi," or Coming of Age Day, is a special celebration in Japan for young people who are turning 20, marking their journey to adulthood. On a specific day in January, young men and women dress up in traditional clothes, like kimonos, and attend ceremonies in their towns. These events help them understand their new adult responsibilities and rights, like voting. Families and friends gather to celebrate their achievements and future. It's a day filled with joy, congratulations, and hope for their bright futures as grown-ups.

If there's a festival in your area, visit it to see special performances or activities. You can also write a letter to your future self, saying what you want to do when you grow older.
