Japan's National Holidays and Seasonal Traditions
Japanese national holidays are steeped in tradition and play a significant role in the country's cultural calendar. While these holidays punctuate the year with moments of celebration and reflection, they also affect the operational timings of businesses, including our shipping services.
The dates for Japanese national holidays that fall on a specific day of the week, rather than a fixed calendar date, vary each year. This is because some holidays are observed under a 'Happy Monday System' that Japan introduced to create three-day weekends. Here are some examples:
- Coming of Age Day is observed on the second Monday of January.
- Marine Day is on the third Monday of July.
- Respect for the Aged Day is celebrated on the third Monday of September.
- Sports Day is on the second Monday of October.
Equinox holidays are determined by astronomical observations and vary slightly from year to year. They also reflect Japan's traditional awareness of the changing seasons, which is preserved in the Nijūshi Sekki (Twenty-Four Seasonal Divisions).
Here's a glimpse into the essence of these holidays and when they are observed.
