To all of our wonderful guests and MACHIYA INNS & HOTELS fans,

Thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support over the last year!

We’re back again this year with our annual digital ‘nengajo’ greeting cards (Japanese New Year greeting cards) as a way to say thank you from all of us at MACHIYA INNS & HOTELS to you.

What is a 'Nengajo'?

Similar to the Western practice of sending holiday greeting cards, in Japan, “nengajo” are special postcards sent out to friends, family, and coworkers. They are timed to arrive on New Year’s day, as the first greeting of the new year, and convey ‘thank you’ for their support over the last year, and hopes for continued support in the new year!

How we celebrate the new year in Japan

While there are unique customs in different prefectures throughout Japan, there is one thing that we all say: “Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu” (Happy New Year)! Other customs include “hatsumode” (the first shrine visit of the year to pray for health and happiness), eating ‘osechi’ (a special New Years meal), and giving ‘otoshidama’ (money gift) to children. No matter how you celebrate the new year in your culture, we wish you health, happiness, and good fortune in the new year!

Have a wonderful new year, and we look forward to welcoming you to Japan in 2023.
