Many cultures celebrate the change from childhood to adulthood. In Japan, this special occasion is celebrated on Coming - of - Age Day. Known in Japanese as Seijin no Hi, it is celebrated for everyone who had or will have their 20th birthday between April 2 of the previous year and April 1 of the current year. Coming - of - Age Day was once held on January 15. However, starting in the year 2000, the holiday was moved to the second Monday of January. This made it easier for people to celebrate the special day as part of a long weekend.
許多文化慶祝從童年到成年的轉變。在日本，這個特殊的場合是在成人式慶祝的。在日語中被稱為 Seijin no Hi，它是為每個在前一年的四月二日和今年四月一日之間已經或將要過二十歲生日的人慶祝的。成人式曾經在一月十五日舉辦。然而，從 2000 年開始，這個節日被移到了一月的第二個星期一。作為長週末的一部分使人們更容易慶祝這個特殊的日子。
