  • 2020 Public Holidays in Japan
    2020 Public Holidays in Japan When traveling, tourist crowds are part of the equation. But sometimes the crowds are a lil’ bit busier than normal… Because of local public holidays! The most important public holiday period to know about is Golden Week, which runs from the end of April to the start of May. Check out the table below for more information! In 2020, Tokyo is hosting the Summer Olympics. If you’re planning a visit to Japan this year (and you’re not keen on the Olympics) this is something to be careful of! Flights will cost more and there will be a higher demand for accommodation. In Japan, public holidays usually mean extra busy long weekends, so we’ve outlined the busy period too. The column titled “Date” is the date of the actual public holiday. The column titled “Long Weekend” is the estimated long weekend. Public Holiday Date Long Weekend January New Years Day 1st January Coming of Age Day 13th January 11th - 13th January February Foundation Day 11th February 8th - 11th February March Vernal Equinox Day 20th March 20th - 22nd March April + May Showa Day 29th April These public holidays are combined to form what is Constitution Memorial Day 3rd May known as Golden Week. This busy period is Greenery Day 4th May between 27th April - 6th Children’s Day 5th May May June None © THE WANDERING SUITCASE | THEWANDERINGSUITCASE.COM 2020 Public Holidays in Japan Public Holiday Date Long Weekend July Marine Day 23rd July Eve of Olympics Opening Ceremony Health and Sports Day 24th July Day of Olympics Opening Ceremony August Mountain Day 10th August Day after Olympics Closing Ceremony September Respect for the Aged Day 21st September 19th - 22nd September Autumn Equinox Day 22nd September November Culture Day 3rd November 2nd - 4th November Labor Thanksgiving Day 23rd November 21st - 23rd November December None © THE WANDERING SUITCASE | THEWANDERINGSUITCASE.COM.
