Japanese New Year!

Japadon wishes you a Akemashite Omedetou! Happy New Year!

The Japanese spend the last two days of the year getting the house cleaned thoroughly and cooking the festival foods. This way you can start the new year fresh and relaxed. Generally New Year’s Eve can be spent a couple of ways. You can stay at home with family and watch a special national New Year’s Eve broadcast together, or you can go to a temple to wait for the monks to toll the huge bronze bells signaling the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one. Many people choose to stay up the rest of the night in prayer and meditation, and make a trek up a nearby mountain in order to see the first sunrise of the year, Mt. Fuji being the most preferred spot. However, from our experience here at Japandon, it takes a very long time to walk to the top of Mt. Fuji.
