We have 4 National holidays within a week as follows.
April 29 is Showa Day
May 3 is Constitution Memorial Day
May 4 is Greenery Day
May 5 is Children’s Day
And the combination of the 4 holidays and the weekends, we can get a long holidays here.
We say the Golden Week for the long holidays and which is 1 of the 3 biggests holiday seasons, besides New Year and Obon holidays.
Today is April 29, or Showa Day.
It’s the birthday of the former Emperor Showa Period, which was lasted from 1926 to 1989.
May 3 is the Constitution Day, the new constitution was established on this day in 1947.
May 4 is the Greenery Day, which is the day to enjoy the environment and the nature.
May 5 is the Children’s Day, or boy's festival. Families having a boy pray for the health, good luck and future success for their sons. (The girls’ festival is on March 3.)
We display a decoration of a carp streamer called ‘koinobori’ outside and samurai dolls inside.
During this long holidays, we usually go to say hello to our parents’ house.
However, all the translations and sightseeing spots are very crowded during the Golden Week.
Parents are very exhausted after coming back home and have to go to work with a little tired next day.
今日からいよいよゴールデンウイークが始まりましたね！
とはいえ、今日は旦那は出勤日・・・。息子はクラブに、娘はお友達と遊びに行ってしまったので、何もすることなく、のんびりブログを書いています。
我が家のゴールデンウイークは明日からです。楽しい連休をお過ごし下さい～～
