Best Answer

A celebration for youth who turn 20. The Monday of the second week in January. They dress up their best and celebrate. 20 years old is the official age of adulthood in Japan. (Much like 18 is in the US)

The age 20 even has a special name. All the other ages you say the number with the suffix -sai. (i.e. five years old: go-sai. 17 years old: juunana-sai)

To say 20 years old, you would say "hatachi."
