Japanese New Year & Kimono Experience

Don't have big travel plans for the new year? You can trek over to Japan without leaving the five boroughs thanks to Japan Village's New Year's Day celebrations, which will run from 1pm to 5pm on January 1 with traditional Japanese performances, interactive cultural experiences, delicious free tastings and festive demonstrations like mochi pounding. Ticketholders can add on an optional kimono experience (for $60.50) and kick off the first day of 2026 in beautiful Japanese garb.
