The document describes the seasons in Japan. It focuses on winter, Christmas, and New Year's traditions. For winter, it notes the average temperature range in Tokyo. For Christmas, it explains that it is not a national holiday in Japan and most people spend it with friends or partners rather than following religious traditions. New Year's (shogatsu) involves cleaning, decorations, special osechi dishes with meanings of health and luck, zoni soup, hatsumode shrine visits, and sending nengajou postcards. Spring highlights hanami cherry blossom viewing along rivers and parks at night under moonlight. Summer notes hot and humid weather and festivals involving yukata clothing and games like goldfish scooping using
