Coming of Age Day

Hello everyone! It was my Coming of age Day last Monday!! It's one of Japanese traditional ceremony that celebrate the age of 20! I woke up around 6:30 am, went to hair salon, had a set up my hair and make up, and wore Kimono. It took like 2 hours, so made me really tired. I went to the ceremony hall, and there was a lot of 20 years old people!!! Most of girls and some of guys wore Kimono then. Most of guys wore suits in general.
This is me in Kimono! I wore it almost the whole day so I got really tired. It was really tight, but not so warm haha

After the ceremony, I had a big party with old friends from my elementary school. It was really really fun and i was so happy to see them again. There were some friends who I met for the first time in 10 years! Their appearence were changed a lot, but character wern't.

I hope that you guys had a great day as well!!

New Year!!!

We went to Yasaka shrine in Shijo, on New Year's eve. It's one of Japanese traditional to go to shrine and pray for next year when the year changes. That was my first time to go to Yasaka shrine, so I found something new for me. This is the picture of it. There was a fire, and we can get from the fire for good luck.
There was a lot of people in front of the shrine when the year changed. We did countdown all together! It was really fun :) And it was so cold.



I stayed in Hirakata that night and went home in the evening of January 1st. I went to my grandnother's place. She cooks Japanese traditional meal for New Years, called "Osechi". I love it!!! I ate some of them and took a nap.

I already miss my New Year's day!!

Happy New Year!!!

My Christmas

Hi everyone! How was your Christmas? I had really great time!! I went ice skating in Hirakata Park. It was my the first time to go ice skating in 11 years, so I was kinda excited and nervous then, but I didn't fell down at all. (Actually I was about to, but my boyfriend always helped me hahaha) We exchanged Christmas presents then.

After that, we went to Kyoto station to have Christmas dinner. There was a huge Christmas tree, and it was so beautiful!! I put a picts of it. We saw it for a while, went to Italian restaurant. We had a big dinner, and a Christmas cake! It was a little heavy, so we couldn't finish it...

That was Christmas eve. On Christmas day, we went to Namba to watch movie. We watched "WALL・E", the latest Disney movie. It was my first time to watch it, but for mhy boyfriend it was second time, because it already ran in the US.

Anyways, I had really good time!!! How was yours?
