Seinen-sai (Coming of Age Celebration) 成年祭

To commemorate the coming of age for newly adult men and women.

When a person reaches the age of adulthood, they visit a Shinto Shrine and show appreciation for their growth. Then the individual who has joined the ranks of adults is reported to the Kami-sama. The now adult man or woman gives gratitude to their parents and/or the people around them who helped raise them. As a new member of society, they vow to contribute to society and they pray for divine protection. 

成年に達したら、神社に参拝して自分の成長を感謝し、大人の仲間入りができたことを神様に奉告します。育ててもらった両親や周りの人々に感謝し、社会の一員として社会に貢献する人になるよう誓いをたて、ご加護を祈願します。

The ceremony has a minimum donation of $100 plus shipping where applicable and includes one Omamori.
