November 15 is Shichi-go-san (or "Seven, Five, Three").
Girls aged seven and three, and boys aged five are celebrated on this day.

The children wear their Sunday best and go to shrines to pray.
Together with their parents, they give thanks for their health and continued happiness.

They take pictures with chitose-ame (or "A thousand-year-old" candy) in their hands commemorating the occasion.
Families gather around to feast.
