2024 is here! We discuss resolutions for the year as well as how the holiday is celebrated in each country.
The most important holiday in Japan is welcoming the new year. We discuss all the traditions which start, immediately the day after Christmas.
Some of the Japanese terms used in the podcast:
忘年会 (bounenkai) - work year-end party

しめ飾り (shimekazari)- a decoration made from rice straws hung outside at the top of the entrance door
