  3. Japanese culture Japanese New Year: In Japan, people give some gifts in a lot of occasions. Giving gifts when the year is coming to an end is the most important as they express appreciation for the special services they have extended to them. Christmas in Japan: Christmas in Japan is different from western countries like USA or Australia. In Japan, they give Christmas present usually, friends and family… However, children in Japan do not give presents to their parents. The reason is only Santa brings present, so once the children no longer believe in Santa, the presents are no longer given.

Baseball and soccer are one of the most popular activities among the boys. Judo clubs, where kids train in this traditional martial art, attract both boys and girls.
