I will introduce the differences between New Year's celebrations in Japan and overseas using New Year's cards and grand countdowns overseas as examples.

In November, there is a traditional event called Shichi-Go-San, which is held to pray for the happiness of children. It also marks the beginning of the snowy season. I would like to introduce some recommended slopes for those who want to go skiing.

September is a time when many typhoons occur and disasters occur. The weather is often unstable. However, in October, the weather becomes mild.

August is the season for typhoons and Obon. I will explain about Obon, a Buddhist ritual.This is the time of year when the most typhoons occur, causing extensive damage every year.

July marks the start of the hot summer. Recently, summers in Japan have been hotter than those in Southeast Asia and Africa. However, it is also a season with many fun events, such as beach openings and fireworks displays.

Although there are no special events in June, it is the rainy season and the hydrangeas are very beautiful. The Hydrangea Temple in Kamakura is a popular tourist destination and is highly recommended.

A traditional event held in May is the Boys' Festival, which is a time to pray for the happiness of boys. I also think this is the best season for hiking and traveling.I'll also talk about the May sickness that is unique to Japanese people and occurs at this time of year.

A traditional event in April is the school entrance ceremony. This is when the cherry blossoms, beloved by Japanese people, are in full bloom. If you are planning to visit Japan, I highly recommend you see these cherry blossoms.

March is the month of traditional Japanese events, with the Doll's Festival and school graduation ceremonies. March is the season of farewells, marking the end of the bitterly cold winter and the beginning of spring, so I think it's a particularly suitable time for graduation ceremonies.
