Coming of Age Day by Visit MY Japan 

Happens on the second Monday of January, to celebrate youths turning the age of 20 years old. During this day, you’ll see young women dressed in furisode (kimono with long dangling sleeves) and men in hakama (traditional trousers).

In the morning, they are welcomed via ceremony at their respective city halls. The day continues at a local shrine where they pray for success and good health. Many cap the celebration by having a drink–legally! 

An interesting trivia is that in the old days of Samurai, children were born with child names before they were given adult names when they became adults. When you read history, you notice every Samurai had different names.

For example, Minamoto no Yoshitsune childhood name is Ushiwakamaru. He went through a “Rite of Passage” when he’s older, to change his name where it marks a person’s transition from phase of life to another. 

So the concept is similar. While in the world today, their given names are the same from childhood into adulthood but the celebration to recognise their transition into a different phase of life remains.

A fishing boat slips slowly past on a choppy sea, heading to fisheries beneath the Awaji Bridge.

Seen when Mrs H happened to have a day off when no one else did. It was bright, sunny and damned cold.

If you find your way down these parts I'd recommend the walk under the bridge. You can also go up to an observation deck slung beneath it and watch the ships sail by while munching on some local delicacies.
