Does Japan celebrate the Spring Festival?

Japanese New Year refers to the Spring Festival of Yamato people in Japan and other parts of the world. It is the most important festival of the Yamato people in a year, also known as the first month (しょぅがち). The first month was originally the first month of the lunar calendar. After the Meiji Restoration, it was changed to the Gregorian calendar, so 1 month and 3 1 day of the new calendar were called the first month.

The first month of the lunar calendar is called the "old first month", and now most parts of Japan do not celebrate the old first month (except Ryukyu Islands and some rural areas).
