Ganjitsu or the Japanese New Year is the holiday that is celebrated on January 1. Traditionally, this is a family holiday, but there are festive events and celebrations in all cities across Japan. It is a very important holiday for the country. As a rule, people do not work starting from December 29 and until January 3. Many companies and state institutions are closed during the holidays, and the number of vacationers is on par with the Golden Week. Perhaps, the parade of kites, which is traditionally organized every year, is the most spectacular event in the schedule. Don’t forget to try special New Year food and purchase a lucky talisman in a local temple as a souvenir.

Spring equinox, which is celebrated on March 21 or 20 (on leap years), is another interesting holiday celebrated on a country level. Besides that, the country celebrates so-called Higan. The holiday lasts from March 17 to 23. This is the time when local people remember their ancestors. In Kanagawa, March is a particularly important month, and holidays here are always widely celebrated because of a big number of working temples.
