New Year's In Japan

Happy New Year!

I am finally back after a short break from the busy holiday season. 

Hope you are doing awesome in the new year!

Watch here to learn these interesting customs that take place in Japan:

Are there special rituals and customs that take place in the new year from where you're from?

Feel free to share, would love to hear from you!

Cheers
