Shogatsu

In Japan, we have some traditional things to do in January 1;Shogatsu. Before the time 12, we eat Tosikosi Soba(kind of noodle.to through the year). Then past 12 some people go to shrine called Hatsumoude(to visit shrine and pray first of begining the year). In Shogatsu we meet grandparents or couzins. Some of them give us Money called Otosidama.
I think that is one of presious tradition and still exist that many of Japan's good tradition were faded away.
