Welcome back

Today we are back here in Tokyo right in a Asakusa and it is

coming of age day

What is today? Seijinshiki

Yes

Seijinshiki 20 years old

Thank you

Absolutely wonderful so today is coming of age day known as

Sei-jin Shiki right here in Tokyo it is one of the most beautiful days of the year

And you see all kinds of characters

That's not a 20 year old

Coming of age day is a special day for people in Japan which is basically anybody who has turned 20 years old within this year

comes out to celebrate

Their coming of age both men and women will get dressed up in kimono and hakama to celebrate the day

More often than not the days right with photographers will come out to capture the beauty of

the kimono and the energy of the area

Turning 20 in Japan is a really big deal, and it is celebrated as such has been

Celebrated almost as long as Japan's history this celebration has gone on for literally

thousands of years

Maybe 1,000 1.5 a long time. It's held on the second Monday of January

And not only do the people in their 20s come out to attend

But there is a ceremony where government officials come out and speak and basically congratulate everybody on entering the age of majority

Which is 20 years old here in Japan now long before I even started vlogging on YouTube

I had gone out and made a video about this right here in a sucks a couple years ago

The coming-of-age ceremony is one of great energy and excitement and is celebrated all over the place

two of my favorite locations to enjoy the ceremony are

meiji shrine

or right here in a Asakusa and

For regular viewers of the channel who might be wondering why i'm filming?

My phone instead of my camera you see you remember that trip that I just took to canada

Yeah, I kind of killed my camera as well as my lens and snap my microphone

It was a whole thing as you will notice that today's video

Was probably a lot shorter than the most

but really there's not much else to say about the coming-of-age ceremony is simply a beautiful piece of Japanese culture and

History not to mention a fantastic opportunity to get some beautiful videos or photo which

breaks my heart because my

Cuz I busted my camera, but there's always next year all that being said if you did enjoy the video
