2020 is almost here! Looking for tips about how to spend New Year’s Eve in Japan? Celebrations in Japan are pretty quiet and understated, usually celebrated with family, but the season basically lasts all of December.
It’s bonenkai season, which are year-end parties when friends or co-workers gather to share copious amounts of alcohol as the year draws to a close. Don’t be surprised if people seem extra rowdy!
You’ll also seen shrines and temples decked out for hatsumode, the first shrine or temple visit of the new year. It’s very common to see intricate bamboo centerpieces and Chinese Zodiac animal decorations.
