The "Reiwa 3rd Year Hirosaki City 20-year-old Festival (Adult Ceremony)" was held on January 9th at the Aomori Prefecture Budokan (Toyoda, Hirosaki City).

The venue was the Aomori Prefectural Budokan, as it was last year at the adult ceremony hosted by Hirosaki City. This year's new adults are born from April 2, 2001 (Heisei 13) to April 1, 2002 (Heisei 14), with a total of 1713 males and 817 females. The number of new adults has increased by 58 compared to last year.

At the venue, infection control measures were taken more thoroughly than last year, and temperature was measured at the one-way entrance. In addition to disinfecting and having them fill in contact information when seated, all visitors, including staff, wore masks.

In the oath by the new adult representative, working adults Aino Konishi and Kano Nishizawa expressed their gratitude to their families and local Hirosaki, saying, "I continue to pursue different dreams such as work and study. In the middle of it, I may be immature and confused, but I want to do my best not to regret the path I believed in. "

The ceremony will be streamed live by Apple Stream. There were about 200 simultaneous viewers, and the new adults who attended also took videos and photos of the ceremony.

After the ceremony, there were many people inside and outside the venue who were happy to meet their old friends again, and it was as lively as usual. Some groups participated in costumes with new adults and friends who brought a banner.
