Best Answer

Some New Year's Eve traditions are:

  • cleaning the house (this can also be done on New Year's Day)
  • visiting the temple and drinking amazake
  • listening to the bell ring at the temple
  • eating toshikoshi soba into the new year
  • setting up kamisama mochi (with a tangerine for a head) somewhere in the house and praying for a good year

There are many more traditions for the actual day like eating osechiryouri and giving money to children.
