Japan's Golden Week in 2025 takes place from April 29 (Tuesday) to May 5 (Monday). It is a holiday period consisting of several public holidays close together:

  • April 29: Showa Day (celebrating the birthday of Emperor Showa)
  • May 3: Constitution Memorial Day
  • May 4: Greenery Day (observed on May 6 in 2025)
  • May 5: Children's Day

Golden Week is one of Japan's largest holiday seasons, often leading to many people taking time off work and traveling, resulting in crowded transportation and popular tourist destinations.
