新成人のみなさん、おめでとうございます。サンディエゴでは、社会人としての門出を祝福するために　バルボアパークの日本庭園にて成人式を開催します。

Hosted by the Japanese Friendship Garden, Azunakai, and the San Diego Yokohama Sister City Society, the Coming of Age Ceremony (Japanese: "Seijin-shiki") is an important rite of passage for many young Japanese adults in Japan, just turning twenty. Many of them attend a ceremony at their local community center, dressed in traditional kimono or western suits to celebrate the new chapter in their lives. Unmarried women have the chance to wear the elaborate long-sleeved kimono called furisode. Families and friends will take many photos together on this occasion.

Students from all cultures and backgrounds are highly encouraged to participate in this event. Kimono rental service is available upon request and participants are welcome to wear any other formal or cultural attire.
