The last day of every year is the Great Dark Day in Japan. This year, the Japanese will have family reunions, and just like us in China, they will make preparations. They will hang a rope in front of the door, called "Zhulian rope", to get rid of ghosts. Then the festival begins. On this day, just like us Chinese eat dumplings, the Japanese eat buckwheat noodles, which they call "Nianyue Soba". In addition to buckwheat, we also eat puffer fish, because the pronunciation of puffer fish in Japanese is similar to the pronunciation of the word "福".

When the Japanese celebrate the New Year, they will also give their children New Year's money, and they will send New Year's cards to their relatives, which are called New Year's cards in Japan. Starting from December, it is guaranteed that loved ones will receive it before the arrival of the first month. And they also have the custom of keeping the year old. They also have to go to the temple to worship. At midnight, the temple bell will ring one hundred and eight times. Ringing one hundred and eight times means that the troubles will be cleared away. After the bells ring, the Japanese will go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. The temple will give everyone a white note with New Year's revelations written on it, and people will hang the note on the tree.
