     In Japan, people eat something called osechi ryori for dinner on New Year's Eve. Osechi ryori contains many different types of Japanese food and is made up of food that does not spoil easily.
     Also, on New Year's Eve, each TV station broadcasts a special programme (e.g. Kohaku Uta Gassen) are broadcast, which many people watch.
     When the New Year is over, a 'yoyo bell' is rung at temples and shrines across the country. Many people will go to bed after hearing it. It is also said that seeing the first sunrise of the year brings good luck, so some people go to see it.
     On 1 January, people go to temples and shrines to pay a visit, called Hatsumode. Osechi dishes are made to last for a long time, so they are eaten over the next three days or so.

     @morotesovtannu can't say for everyone but usually in my family it happens like that. Almost whole day (at least we used to do it) we are cooking meals for new years dinner that happens around 10 pm or later. Sometimes while cooking we are listening to some new years programms or just turn on tv. And we usually have dinner till the presidents speech. Then we are drinking shampagne and we go outside to see fireworks and kinda have a walk around. Also i need to take in consideration that i live in a private home and it might be different from folks in town. Also around this time usually films are happening or maybe before (?). I honestly don't remember too much since we didn't really rewatched them since its almost each new year the same stuff. And then i think i can call it like our celebration if i didn't forget anything.
     
     So how do japanese folks celebrate it? Does it have similarities? 👀

     @morotesovtannu also when i were young we used to have sorta big parties with guests but i guess we were slowly getting tired of this.
     
     Also i forget to say that we also usually have "toasts". And we share all of our individual achievements made in this year!

     @Zyc @zyc Herring in a fur coat! ! I've never eaten it, but I've heard of it. I'm curious because they don't sell beets themselves.

     @morotesovtannu @zyc oh i see. Interesting traditions. I think when i watched anime i saw the bell ringing scenes. Is it accurate?
     
     Osechi ryori looks hella delicious and beutiful in google pictures :blobcatdrool:
     We usually have chicken, olivie and since our family love cesar salad we also cook it. Also usually people cook herring under a fur coat.
     
     I think it might be left also after new year for future days. But maybe not too much
