Golden Week is a significant holiday period in Japan, typically occurring in late April to early May. It consists of several national holidays that fall in close proximity to each other, creating an extended break for many workers and students. The holidays included in Golden Week are Showa Day (April 29), Constitution Memorial Day (May 3), Greenery Day (May 4), and Children’s Day (May 5). As one of the busiest travel seasons in Japan, it often sees a rise in domestic tourism as people take the opportunity to travel, visit family, or partake in various leisure activities. The term “Golden Week” reflects the economic impact and the value of this time off for leisure and recreation. Companies and schools often close for the entire week, allowing for extended vacations.
