Seijin no Hi (Coming of Age Day)

Today is a national holiday called "Seijin no Hi" in Japan.

"Seijin no Hi" is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have become adults and are trying to become independent.

On this day, each municipality invites people who have reached 20 years old, and a coming-of-age ceremony is held.

New adults participate in the ceremony in full dress -- women wear furisode (long-sleeved kimono), and men wear hakama (formal men's divided skirt) or suits.

Unfortunately, these days the number of new adults who cause problems in the coming-of-age ceremony increases.

In the last hour, I got the news that a new adult made a mess of the ceremony and was arrested.

成人の日

今日は成人の日で、多くの日本国民にとって祝日です。

成人の日は、「おとなになったことを自覚し、みずから生き抜こうとする青年を祝いはげます」ことを趣旨とした日です。

この日、多くの市町村で今年度20歳を迎える新成人が招かれ、成人式が行われます。

女性は振袖、男性はスーツや袴などの正装に身を包み、参加します。

しかし、残念ながら近年、成人式で問題を起こす新成人が増えています。

早速先程、式典で暴れて逮捕者が出たというニュースがありました。

I could only find one mistake in this, your English is amazing! I didn't know that people caused problems at the ceremonies, it's a shame when someone ruins it for everyone else.

I still remember 3 years ago when I was there in the Kansai area.

It was quite the sight seeing all those young people with strange clothing.

I think I also saw lots of girls carrying bows.

• "Seijin no Hi" is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have become adults and are trying to become independent.
• "Seijin no Hi" is held in order to congratulate and encourage all those who have recently become adults and are trying to become independent.

  Your sentence is perfect, but the meaning is a bit unclear. If you just say "adults" it sounds like all adults, no matter what age. So maybe say "those who have recently become adults" or "those who have become adults this year."

• On this day, each municipality invites people who have reached 20 years old, and a coming-of-age ceremony is held.
• On this day, each municipality invites all people who turned 20 years old this year to a coming-of-age ceremony.

  I don't know if it's "this year" or recently, but I added this for the same reason as my last correction.

Wow! I didn't know about people causing problems at these ceremonies before. What are they doing? Getting drunk and causing fights or something?

Anyway, thank you for always doing informative posts that are fun to read. :)
