My usual end of year activities in Japan were enjoying taking the time to enjoy having a rest, having extremely long walks…(The whole length of the Yamanote Line anybody? Nice walk and doesn’t take that long if you pace yourself properly!) and considering the fact that the cold in Japan can be really cold when it wants to be. Who says you can ever be bored in Japan, even around New Year when it’s very quiet in most places?!

Don’t forget “Watch the two-hour special previews of three-hour specials” and “Watch those 24 hours with the police specials, with the lead-ups about how ‘This kind of crime is unthinkable in Japan’(nope, somebody already thought of it)”; “Explaining to the in-laws for the 7th year running that you do NOT have special dishes for New Year in your native culture”; and “Eat the same stuff for 3 days on end”
