Golden Week 2019

Tips for traveling

Golden Week this year is especially long, and will be from Saturday, April 27th to Sunday, May 5th, 2019. With all the usual holidays, plus another to commemorate the abdication of Emperor Akihito and the rise of his son Naruhito to the throne, it's a busy week for the Japanese!

Some tips for travelers

Trains, airports and tourist spots are extremely busy during Golden Week, and accommodation in tourist areas, especially at ryokan and onsen resorts, are booked very far in advance by the Japanese themselves.

This is because Golden Week is a rare opportunity for them to go on holiday with family or friends, since everyone is on vacation at the same time.
