May 5th was originally known as Tango no sekku, the Japanese equivalent of the Double Fifth which is a holiday celebrated in many Chinese households around the world. In 1948, the government changed the official name to Children’s Day.
However, even though May 5th is officially known as Children’s Day, most Japanese still consider and celebrate the “double fifth” as Boy’s Day while Girl’s Day is celebrated on the “double third” (March 3rd).
Admission/Cost: $10 - $12, Children under 6 Free.
Location:
Japanese Friendship Garden
