Do people in your region have any special customs?🙋‍♀️

In Japan🇯🇵, one tradition is soaking in a bath with floating yuzu citrus.

The Winter Solstice is considered the day when the sun’s power is at its weakest.

The strong fragrance of yuzu is believed to ward off evil spirits and invite good fortune, so people began taking yuzu baths as an ablution🛁

It is also said that bathing with yuzu on this day helps you “get through winter without catching a cold.”💪😊🌟
