About Japan's National Holiday  

Respect for the Aged Day


One of the good things about Japanese public holidays
is that the names of the holidays are so simple 
and straight to the point!
As you probably guessed, 
Respect for the Aged Day is a Japanese public holiday 
designated to honor senior citizens.

๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’–

What sort of things do people do to celebrate 
Respect for the Aged Day?


Respect for the Aged Day Lunches


One of the most popular things people do on this day is have lunch!
 A lot of restaurants offer free meals for elderly people 
on Respect for the Aged Day๐Ÿ’•
It's a great way for elderly people to go out
and enjoy some of their favorite food๐Ÿฎ




Respect for the Aged Day Performances


There are groups, private and governmental,
 that will go around to retirement homes 
and town centers to do all kinds of performances for elderly people๐Ÿ’Ÿ♪

Some areas of towns even will go around the neighborhood
celebrating in their own way!



Respect for the Aged Day Gifts



As far as cards go, 
there really isn't a "Happy Elderly Day" card or anything like that.
Most people just get or write cards that says "Thank you".

Since it is a national holiday, 
you can expect kids to make special crafts 
for their grandparents at school✂๐Ÿ–‡
If you don't have kids though, 
you can get them something they would like or need!
In Japan, 
elderly people are known to choke on mochi (rice cakes),
so giving those as a gift isn't recommended.



๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’–


Elderly people are super cute and sweet!!
It is also crazy how genki and healthy 
the elderly people in Japan are!
So if you see an elderly person near by,
flash em a smile and maybe even a hug!
We hope all elderly people live a happy,
healthy, and fantastic life๐Ÿ’“๐Ÿ’“
