In the Philippines, Christmas season starts from September, but in Japan it is roughly one month from the end of November to December 25.
However, Christmas in Japan is just commercial festival, for except Christian. Christian is only a few percent of the population in Japan. Illumination is decorated in various places independent of religion.
Or Christmas is a day like the following.
- Eat cake
- Eat chicken
- Child gets present from Santa Claus
About 30 years ago, the Japanese economy was at its peak. And at Christmas Eve, all hotels and romantic restaurants were also full of reservations. That day was meant as “the day the lovers spends intimate moments”.
However, due to the subsequent stagnation of the economy, such a trend has been totally hidden. Currently there are many people who do not notice because they are working as usual days.
