'New year' in Japanese is 'shinnen (しんねん)'. A major Japanese holiday is golden week gōruden uīku (ごーるでん　うぃーく). Which, oddly is named using loan words, and can be written in katakana.

Japanese often uses loan words for foreign holidays and celebrations. For learning a few basic phrases in Japanese on this website play the phrases game or visit the Japanese phrases page.
