Valentine's Day in Japan is the day for women to give men chocolates or gifts. This is a typical way to celebrate Valentine's day in Japan. Women are expressing love to men by giving chocolates. But it's also common for women to give chocolates to men who they don't actually love, such as co-workers and male friends. This kind of chocolates are called giri-choco which mean chocolates given because of obligations.

Many stores in Japan sell lots of chocolates before Valentine's Day in Japan. Men who received chocolates or gifts on Valentine's day are supposed to give gifts back to the women on March 14th called White Day.
