Golden Week 2025: Up to 11 Consecutive Days Off
Golden Week is just around the corner, and in 2025, you could enjoy up to 11 consecutive days off, depending on how you plan your schedule.
Golden Week is a major holiday period in Japan from late April to early May. It includes several national holidays in a row, such as Showa Day (April 29), Constitution Memorial Day (May 3), Greenery Day (May 4), and Children’s Day (May 5). Because these holidays are so close together, many people take time off from work, making it one of the longest and busiest holiday periods of the year in Japan. People also often abbreviate Golden Week to “GW”.
By using paid time off (PTO) during the four days before and after Showa Day (April 29), you can take a long break from Saturday, April 26, to Tuesday, May 6.
Things to keep in mind when traveling during Golden Week

Golden Week is one of the busiest holiday periods in Japan, with many people traveling domestically and returning to their hometowns. Therefore, you may experience the following inconveniences:

For international travelers planning to visit Japan
If you're planning a trip to Japan around the time of Golden Week, it's best to avoid this period if possible.
This may not be a good time to visit—especially if this is your first time, or if you're looking for a peaceful, culturally immersive experience. Consider visiting in mid-April or mid-May, when crowds are smaller and you can enjoy Japan more calmly.
Spring in Japan: A Season of Natural Beauty
Considered as one of the most beautiful times of the year in Japan, a wide variety of flowers are in full bloom. One particularly beautiful spot is “Hitachi Seaside Park” in the Ibaraki Prefecture, where the blue nemophila flowers bloom all over the park, creating a stunning scene that looks like the sky has touched the ground.
Golden Week is a great time to explore Japan, but expect large crowds. If you're planning a trip, book your transportation and accommodation early. And if you're visiting Japan from overseas, you may be able to enjoy a more relaxed and enjoyable Japan by shifting your travel dates slightly.
Wishing you a wonderful spring in Japan!
