#成人の日
In Japan, the 2nd Monday of the New Year is marked as ‘Coming of Age Day’ or Seijin no Hi - 成人の日.
It is held for those who have matured to the age of 20 in the past year and commemorate their transgretion into adult hood.
This Coming of Age Day became an icey wonderland with the streets filling with snow.

Today is 成人の日 or Coming of Age day in Japan. The age of adulthood in Japan is twenty, and on this day people who are twenty or will turn twenty within this year take part in local ceremonies. Girls usually wear fancy kimono with long sleeves called furisode while boys tend to wear suits (though some do wear a formal men’s kimono called hakama). I love this day because everywhere you go it seems there are stunningly dressed ladies who just with their presence beautify their surroundings.
And also make it hard to concentrate on studying at Starbucks (・ω・)
