What is the biggest holiday in Japan?

Japanese New Year

The New Year is the most important holiday in Japan. On New Year's Eve, big bells are rung 108 times in temples and shrines to drive away the 108 evil thoughts in Buddhism. New Year's Day is the busiest postal day in Japan, delivering numerous New Year's postcards. The New Year should be started fresh with past grudges forgiven. This is a time of visiting family, friends, business associates, and also going to temples or shrines to pray.
