I think the most important holiday in Japan is New Year's Day for two reasons.
Firstly, January 1 is the special day when people are vividly aware of the beginning
of a new chapter of their lives.
They make fresh resolutions and try to make an auspicious start to the year.
Secondly, New Year's Day is full of Japanese traditions and cultures.
For example, people decorate homes and entrance gates with special ornaments
and various kinds of special dishes called Osechi are served.
Children also play special games such as Karuta and Fukuwarai.
And these traditional cultures are only seen during this time of year.
