What are the holiday japanese student get off for holidays?
Hello All,

Okay, here’s your answer:

We have a lot of holidays compare with US, i guess.

The national holidays Japanese students normally off for schools are
1/1 (Gantan) New Years Day *normally we don’t have a school until 1/3
1/second of monday (Seijin no hi) Coming age
2/11 (Kenkoku Kinenbi) National Foundation Day
3/20or21 (Shunbun no hi) Spring Equinox Day
4/29 (Shouwa no hi) The Shouwa Emperor’s Birthday
5/3 (Kenpou kinen bi) Constitution Memorial Day
5/4 (Midori no hi) Greenery Day It’s like national holiday
5/5 (Kodomo no hi) Children’s Day
4/29-5/5 it’s kind of long holidays so we called “Golden Week”
7/third of monday (Umi no hi) Sea’s Day
9/third of monday (Keirou no hi) Respect-for-Senior-Citizens Day
9/around 23 (Shuubun no hi) Autumnal Equinox Day
10/second of monday (Taiiku no hi) Health-Sports Day
11/3 (bunka no hi) Culture Day
11/23 (Kinro Kansha no hi) Labor Day
12/23 (Tenno Tanjo bi) The Emperor’s Birthday

Additionally, we have “substitute public holiday” (Hurikae Kyujitsu)
which means basically when a national holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following day becomes a holiday so everyone can still have a day off.

As you can see, Japanese holiday are quite amazing!
I hope this is helpful for you!
