The second Monday of January is a Japanese holiday called 成人の日 (read: Seijin no Hi, or Coming of Age Day). It is a celebration to congratulate the young generations of Japan, particularly for those who have reached the age of majority (20 years old). The ceremonies are usually held at the local city offices throughout Japan, where the young adults are invited to attend. The young women, especially celebrate the day by wearing pretty furisode or kimono with long sleeve, while the young men wear dark coloured hakama. (source).
