In Japan, the second Monday of January is dedicated to Coming of Age Day. This special day marks teenagers turning 20 and thus reaching adulthood. Those who are 20 are able to drink, smoke and vote in the country of Japan. Therefore this day holds significant importance in every individual’s life. According to the government, more than 1.2 million men and women born between April 2nd, 1994 and April 1st, 1995, marked the coming of age this year.
