Bonen-kai!! a party held sometime between the middle and the end of December every year.


Hi! This is Tomomi from Hiroshima Hana Hostel!

It's already Dec 17th.... New year is coming soon!
Did you have a good year? 

In Japan, we have a year-end-party which is called "BONENーKAI” (忘年会).

At bonen-kai a party is held sometime between the middle and the end of December every year. People gather to share and shake off the hardships they experienced during the past year and to prepare for the coming year with renewed resolve.
Usually parties are organized among company colleagues or friends at restaurants and the participants enjoy drinking alcohol and eating delicious food.

Few days ago, we had "bonen-kai" with the staff of Hiroshima J-hoppers and Hana hostel. We went to two restaurants and it was really fun to talk, drink and eat a lot! I emphasize: Yes, we ate A LOT. But I forgot to take pictures of the food...! Anyway, I'm really happy to work with my colleagues and always I really appreciate them. 
Hope you have a happy new year!!😉
