The event traditionally welcomes some 9,000 residents aged twenty to the venue Marine Messe. However, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the city will split the participants into two groups and invite them to shorter ceremonies (from noon and 15:40.) The city advises participants to install the COCOA app on their smartphones before visiting the venue. The event will also be live-streamed online for the first time. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20201022\/5010009776.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.fukuoka.lg.jp\/kodomo-mirai\/k-kikaku\/opinion\/R2nendoseijinshiki.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fukuoka City<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&lt;schedule by residential area&gt;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Noon~: Higashi Ward, Hakata Ward and Minami Ward<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15:40~: Chuo Ward, Jonan Ward, Sawara Ward and Nishi Ward<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-136757\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/coming-of-age-celemony.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/coming-of-age-celemony.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/coming-of-age-celemony.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/coming-of-age-celemony.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/coming-of-age-celemony.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Disclaimer<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Fukuoka Now posts summaries of Kyushu area news for those who cannot read Japanese.
