Coming of Age Day, also known as Seijin no Hi, is a Japanese holiday observed annually on the second Monday of January. It is a day for people who turned 20 in the previous year to celebrate their passage into adulthood. Turning 20 is considered a significant milestone in Japan because it marks the age at which one is legally considered an adult and can vote, marry, and consume alcohol. Traditionally, the holiday is marked by ceremonies and parties in which people who have reached the age of 20 dress in traditional Japanese attire and participate in cultural activities.
