Are you in Japan on New Year's Eve? Traditionally, Japanese people spend &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=/cs/japaneseholidays/a/newyeareve.htm&quot;&gt;New Year's Eve&lt;/a&gt; at home with families and friends and quietly listen to jyoya-no-kane (tolling bells at temples) around midnight. You can also go to fun New Year's Eve celebrations around the country. For many events, it's good to purchase tickets in advance. &lt;p&gt;

Christmas is mostly a commercial event in Japan as December 25 is not a &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=/cs/japaneseholidays/a/holidaycalendar.htm&quot;&gt;Japanese national holiday&lt;/a&gt;. Typically, people go out or have special dinner at home on Christmas Eve and eat a Christmas cake. You can find a wide selection of good-looking Christmas cakes at stores in Japan. &lt;p&gt;

Although things get really hectic at the end of the year, it's a Japanese tradition to eat &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=http://japanesefood.about.com/library/pictures/blkabocha.htm&quot;&gt;kabocha&lt;/a&gt; and relax by taking a &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=http://japanesefood.about.com/library/pictures/blyuzuphoto.htm&quot;&gt;yuzu&lt;/a&gt; bath (yuzu-yu) on the winter solstice. The reason for that is our wish to stay healthy during the winter by keeping warm and eating nutritious food. What do you do to prepare for the New Year? Find out how Japanese people spend this busy holiday season.&lt;p&gt;

Most of gifts are between 2,000 yen and 5,000 yen, and many people choose food gifts for oseibo. Japanese Department stores offer a wide variety of oseibo items in December, so it might be fun to look at the selections of gifts at the stores.  &lt;p&gt;

Are you getting around Japan by plane? &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=/cs/transportair/a/airlinelist.htm&quot;&gt;Japanese airlines&lt;/a&gt; have begun tightening carry-on baggage regulations for domestic flight this month. The size of your carry-on baggage is measured at security check points, so make sure your carry-on baggage fits within the &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=http://www.jal.co.jp/en/dom/service/bags/&quot;&gt;new size limit&lt;/a&gt; in advance. To carry oversized baggage on board with you, you are required to pay extra fee.

The &lt;a href=&quot;http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&amp;#038;zu=/od/attractionintokyo/p/tsukijiichiba.htm&quot;&gt;Tsukiji Market&lt;/a&gt; in Tokyo is Japan's largest wholesale market. There are hundreds of small shops in the inner market (Jonai-shijo) and the outer market (Jogai-shijo) where you can eat or buy delicious seafood, sushi, and lots more. Tsukiji is a place to go for good breakfast or lunch. Please note that the tuna auctions at the Tsukiji fish market are off-limits to visitors from December 10, 2009 to January 23, 2010 for safety reasons since it's the market's busiest time of the year. The tuna auction area reopens on January 25, 2010, according to the Tokyo Metropolitan government. &lt;p&gt;

	<description>A traveler to Japan is asking for shopping advice. &quot;I just love Gamemusic. I've got a lot of favourites and I want to buy the soundtracks now while in Japan.
