Celebrate the New Year with a Taste of Japan: The Tradition of “Nengajo” and Lucky New Year’s Postcards
In Japan, New Year’s greetings are more than just a simple message—they’re a fun and cherished tradition. Enter “Nengajo”, the Japanese New Year’s postcards that not only bring good wishes but sometimes also bring luck! One of the most exciting aspects of Nengajo is the inclusion of “Otoshi-dama Kuji”, or “New Year’s Lottery Postcards,” which can offer fantastic prizes, from cash to exclusive tickets!
In 2025, Japan’s Nengajo will feature an exciting treasure—a chance to win tickets to the Osaka Expo, along with cash prizes and a range of goods. It’s a fun way to ring in the New Year and a unique part of Japanese culture that makes the holiday season even more thrilling.
Now, we’re bringing this tradition to you in the form of a special Onsen Box New Year’s edition! Along with the beauty of Japan’s natural hot springs and wellness products, we’re sending out authentic Japanese New Year’s postcards, complete with the thrill of a lucky draw.
It’s a perfect way to enjoy a piece of Japan’s New Year tradition no matter where you are in the world—whether you win a prize or simply enjoy the fun and unique cultural experience. Stay tuned and get ready to celebrate with us!
