Includes:
Children’s Day (こどもの日, Kodomo no Hi) is a
joyful Japanese holiday dedicated to
celebrating the health, happiness, and growth
of children. Traditionally observed on May 5th,
it is a time for families to display koinobori
(carp streamers), enjoy special treats like
kashiwa mochi, and participate in fun activities
that honor childhood and family bonds.
This festival is more than just a cultural
tradition—it’s a way to bring our community
together in celebration of children and family.
By sharing the spirit of Kodomo no Hi, we
create a space where families can connect,
children can explore a rich cultural heritage,
and everyone can experience the joy of unity.
Whether you’re discovering these traditions for
the first time or revisiting cherished memories,
this event is for everyone to enjoy.
