Golden Week is one of Japan’s most cherished holiday seasons—a cluster of national holidays that runs from late April into early May. families hit the road, popular destinations buzz with energy, and people across the country make the most of the warm spring days with trips, outings, and festivals. At Kogei Art KYOTO, our team is no exception.
What Is Golden Week?
Golden Week falls every year around the same period and includes several national holidays in quick succession: Showa Day (April 29), Constitution Memorial Day (May 3), Greenery Day (May 4), and Children’s Day (May 5). When these overlap with weekends, they form one of the longest consecutive holiday stretches in the Japanese calendar—a truly unique feature of life in Japan.
