Hello, I am Yoshi from NILS Japanese language school. I would like to talk about “Golden Week.” What is “Golden Week”?
“Golden Week” is a Japanese-English word. It refers to successive holidays, starting from the end of April to the beginning of May. THere are four national holidays during this period; these are Showa Day, Constitution Memorial Day, Greenery Day and Children’s Day. When Saturdays and Sundays combine well with these holidays, Golden Week becomes the longest holiday period of the year. In Japan, the weather is usually nice and warm at this time and many people go on a trip around the country or abroad or return to their hometown to see their families.
We will introduce the detail of each holidays shown abeve to you later in School News on our website!
