Japan celebrates Christmas on December 25th, just like in most other countries around the world. However, Christmas is not considered to be as important a holiday as it is in Western cultures, and many Japanese people do not celebrate it in a religious sense. Instead, Christmas in Japan is more of a fun and romantic holiday, with many couples exchanging gifts and going on dates. The Japanese also have their own unique way of celebrating Christmas, known as "Christmas Cake," which is a sponge cake with strawberries and cream.
