If you’re a fan of Japanese culture, you may have heard of Golden Week—a unique and exciting holiday season in Japan. But what exactly is it?
Golden Week is a collection of national holidays that fall closely together from late April to early May. It’s one of the longest holiday periods for many Japanese people, and it’s common for families to travel, relax, or spend time with loved ones. The key holidays include Showa Day (April 29), Constitution Memorial Day (May 3), Greenery Day (May 4), and Children’s Day (May 5). When these holidays align with weekends, many businesses in Japan take an extended break.
