It's Time For Golden Week!

A long waiting holiday bonus, Golden Week starts from tomorrow!




It's a series of combined holidays.


April 29 (Day of Showa)
May 3   (Constitution Memorial Day)
May 4   (Greenery Day)
May 5   (Children's Day)


The holidays start from the end of April (usually April 29) through the first week of May (usually May 5).  The length of holidays may differ depending on calendar.  If holidays fall on weekend, substitute holidays are added.


This year is scattered holidays, but some people can get longer Golden Week.  Because of economic downturn, some companies give extra days off.

During Golden Week, many people travel around.  Therefore, airport and train station are crowded with people.
