what is japan golden week
Golden Week. 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. Trains, airports and sightseeing spots get very crowded during Golden Week, and accommodation in tourist areas can get booked out well in advance.
The end of April through around May 5th is called Golden Week in Japan since there are many national holidays during this period. Many Japanese offices close for about a week to 10 days, depending on the calender.
