Calculating Children’s Milestones
This tool calculates the dates of major celebrations following a child’s birth.
- Notes
- The “First Seasonal Festival” (Hatsu Sekku) originally refers to the first seasonal festival a child celebrates after birth; however, in this context, if a child celebrates a seasonal festival before their first shrine visit (Omiya-mairi), the following year is considered the “First Seasonal Festival.”
- Regarding the Shichi-Go-San celebration, while it was traditionally celebrated based on the traditional Japanese age system (age 1 at birth, increasing at each New Year), it is now commonly celebrated based on the completed age in years. This site uses the completed age in years for calculations.
- You can enter dates in the Japanese calendar system starting from the date the Gregorian calendar was adopted in January 1, Meiji 6 (1873).
