Valentine’s Day in Japan Is Different
Valentine’s Day in Japan follows a unique custom compared to Western traditions. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is divided into two occasions: the first on February 14th and the second on March 14th. During the first occasion, only women give gifts to men, while during the second occasion, only men give gifts to women.
The value of the gifts given by men on the second occasion is expected to be equivalent to the worth of the gifts given by women on the first occasion. Women are commonly known to gift chocolates to individuals of the opposite sex they admire, making it a distinctive celebration of love and affection.
