It is said to be particularly good luck to dream of Mt. Fuji, a hawk or an eggplant in the first night of the year.

Ready-made New Year's dishes are set in three-tiered boxes. Most of the ready-made New Year's dishes are sold frozen and we thaw them at room temperature.
We eat soup called ozouni(お雑煮) containing vegetables and rice cakes for New Year's Day. Its contents used to be offerings to gods. The soup is cooked in various ways according to regional custom.
Ozouni Kenkyujo(OZOUNIYA.co.ltd) is a website about ozouni (sorry, Japanese version only):

New Year's pine decoration at Aotama Jinja Shrine(青玉神社), Hyogo Prefecture
The deity of the year bringing a good harvest goes down from the sky to New Year's pine and bamboo decorations or New Year pine decorations.
This small shrine has several old Japanese cedar trees including 1000-year-old one.
