“SEIJIN-no- hi,” Coming of Age Day, is a national Japanese holiday held on the second Monday of January to honor young adults who turned 20 years old over the past year. It is a way of welcoming them into society and is an essential rite of passage for the Japanese people. Festivities include coming of age ceremonies (成人式, seijin-shiki) held at local and prefectural offices, as well as after-parties among family and friends.
From April 1, 2022, Japan's age of the majority will change for the first time in more than 140 years, from age 20 to 18. However, anyone under 20-years old will still be banned from entering bars, buying cigarettes, booze and gambling.
