  • 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.

  • Japan Location Geography Climate
    Japan Location Japan is an island chain located in Eastern Asia between the North Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan. It is east of the Korean Peninsula at 36°N, 138°E. Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku are the four largest islands. These islands extend over 2,000 km in total length, but are only about 300 km in width. Geography Japan is made up of four major and over 4,000 smaller islands. The total area of Japan is roughly the same size as California. More than half of the main island of Honshu is mountainous and two-thirds is forested. This leaves only 13% of the land arable. The islands of Japan are located on three tectonic plates, which meet just southwest of Tokyo. Therefore, earthquakes are a major concern. Thousands of people died in the last major earthquake, the Great Hanshin, in 1995 in Kobe. There are also many volcanoes as a result of Japan’s location on the plates. The most famous is the dormant Mt. Fuji, which is the highest point of Japan. Climate The climate can vary greatly from north to south. The north is cool temperate, while the south is more tropical. There are four distinct seasons in Japan. The summer is usually hot and humid. There is a rainy season in June and July, which the Japanese call tsuyu. September is usually when typhoons occur. The northern part of Japan, as well as along the Japan coast and in the central mountain areas, can receive large amounts of snowfall during winter.

  • A Brief List of Major Holidays Celebrated by the Tapestry of Ethnic Groups in the Empire State
    A Brief List of Major Holidays Celebrated by the Tapestry of Ethnic Groups in The Empire State With a population of almost 20 million residents, New York State is the home of people from across our planet. With residents from over 170 sovereign nations, New York City alone is one of the most diverse urban centers on Earth. The factors that create this tremendous diversity are based on social, economic and geopolitical forces that shape our world. Our ability to coexist in a peaceful and civil society serves as an example to all nations that tolerance for ethnic and religious diversity can create a progressive and egalitarian-focused society. For a nation in the midst of heated debates over immigration reform, our tapestry of ethnic groups and nationalities can be classified as the “American Empire coming home.” I hope this overview of major holidays celebrated by millions of our fellow residents will continue to foster the notion that unity is achieved and maintained through mutual respect and understanding. As always, if I can be of assistance to you with this or any other community issue, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at my office 718-893-0202 or 518-455-5514. Assemblyman Marcos A.
