Coming of Age Day, the second Monday of January, congratulates everyone who has turned 20 in the past year. New adults dress up - many young women in furisode, the long-sleeved kimono - for ceremonies held by their towns and cities. Adulthood has begun at 18 in law since 2022, but most places still hold the ceremony at 20.
