What's Golden about it? This is one of the worst sales I have seen.
It’s like a National week long holiday in Japan, think of it like spring break, but not just schools are it but so are most businesses, my cousin said it’s the worst time to visit for tourist 😂 well in metropolitan areas. Like you think you’ve seen it packed, nah, oh and places like shops/restaurants tend to raise prices on everything

The Golden Week is a collection of four national holidays within seven days. In combination with well placed weekends, the Golden Week becomes one of Japan's three busiest holiday seasons, besides New Year and the Obon week.

The national holidays making up the Golden Week are:
  • April 29
    Showa Day (Showa no hi):
    April 29 is the birthday of former Emperor Showa, who died in the year 1989. Until 2006, Greenery Day (see May 4) used to be celebrated on this day.
  • May 3
    Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi):
    On this day in 1947, the new postwar constitution was put into effect.
  • May 4
    Greenery Day (Midori no hi):
    Until 2006, Greenery Day used to be celebrated on April 29, the birthday of former Emperor Showa. The day is dedicated to the environment, because the emperor loved plants and nature. Before being declared Greenery Day, May 4 used to be a national holiday due to a law, which declares a day, that falls between two national holidays, a national holiday.
  • May 5
    Children's Day (Kodomo no hi):
    The Boy's Festival (Tango no Sekku) is celebrated on this day. Families pray for the health and future success of their sons by hanging up carp streamers and displaying samurai dolls, symbolizing strength, power and success in life. The Girl's Festival is celebrated on March 3.


When I lived in Japan, I always had to work during the week, which sucked.

Wait, do you remember how Valentine’s Day works there? Like it’s the girl who gives the gift to a guy and then it’s up to the guy to accept/return a gift at a later time?

Valentines is Feb 14, White Day is March 14. On Valentines, if a woman likes a man she'll give him something. On White Day, if a man likes the woman, he'll give her something back. Something like that, it's been over 2 decades since I lived there!
