Celebrating Valentine’s Day In Japan? It Is Different
Unlike its Western comrade, Valentine’s day in Japan is split into two days, and they are in two different months. Double the gifts and double the fun? Well, the first occurs on the 14th of February, with the second Valentine’s Day happening on the 14th of March.
On the first Valentine’s Day, only women give gifts – with men giving theirs during the second Valentine’s Day. The gifts given by men on the second Valentine’s Day, to women, are of equal value to gifts given by the women on the first occasion of the holiday. Could you go for double the chocolate?
