Coming of Age Day
Coming of Age Day honors young Japanese who will reach the age of 20 at any point during the year. The age of adulthood will be lowered to 18 in 2022, but it is left to the judgment of each municipality whether or not the age of those who attend the Coming of Age Ceremony will be lowered.
