It is on this day that the Japanese equivalent of the Dragon Boat Festival (端午の節句 Tango no Sekku?) is held. On this day, and for some time before it, families who have a boy in their home may fly koinobori and decorate their homes with armor or samurai dolls. Children's Day marks the end of Golden Week.
In Japan on valentines day, girls are suppose to give chocolate to boys and on something called White day March 14 men return the favor to girls.
