Men, on the other hand, often wear suits. Therefore, there is not as much preparation as for women.
Some men wear Montsukihakama, a traditional Japanese dress. It’s a Japanese costume.

In some areas, it is done in the summer.

As I said it was the second Monday of January, this is also the season when it snows a lot. In some areas, it was impossible to get to the venue of the coming-of-age ceremony because of the snow.
Therefore, in some areas, the coming-of-age ceremony is held in the summer or during a long holiday weekend.

In Japan, people over the age of 18 become adults.

In fact, from April of 2022, Japanese law will change and people over the age of 18 will become adults. Therefore, there will be many changes in the future.
