Twenty-year-old women wearing kimonos ride a rollercoaster after attending a "Coming-of-Age Day" celebration at the Toshimaen amusement park in Tokyo on January 11, 2016. The number of people celebrating "Coming-of-Age Day" in 2016, or adulthood - high by world standards at age 20 - is estimated to stand at 1.21 million, a decrease of 50,000 from the previous year. Every January, Japanese turning 20 celebrate Coming of Age Day, in which the new adults dress in formal kimonos, pray at Shinto shrines and hear speeches from local officials on their new responsibilities.
