Coming of Age Day Japan 2024 Kimono at Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo
Young Japanese people celebrating Japan's Coming of Age Day while wearing traditional fashion outside of Meiji Jingu Shrine in Harajuku in January 2024. If you want to see kimono being worn on the streets of Japan, Coming of Age Day is the one day a year when you still see people wearing them everywhere.
Congratulations to all of the new adults!!
Everyone we know is tagged on Instagram. The person wearing geta on the far right in the fifth photo told us that he's the drummer in a Japanese straight edge hardcore band and that he painted his Coming of Age Day outfit himself.
An indescribably beautiful city, and one of the best places in Japan to see the fall colours.
Pictured here we have Kiyomizu-dera, the "Pure Water Monastery". With a history dating back to the 700s, the current buildings were constructed in 1633. Legend has it that if you jump off the stage and survive the 13m drop, you will be granted one wish.
We also have some photos from Kyoto's streets, and the Arashiyama bamboo grove.
New Year is approaching and when I saw that in Japan, you have to get ready for the lot of food that will be served, I couldn’t resist to draw that....
