Halfway through January 2022, Japan's holiday schedule has already been announced!
Every year, the arrangement of Japanese holidays is a large-scale "eat lemon" scene, this year is of course no exception, Xiaobian calculated that this year's Japanese statutory holidays add up to a total of 16, of which 9 holidays are closed.
The following are the official holidays in Japan in 2022, also known as red days in the calendar, and there will be a day off every such holiday.
*The above red labels are all "red days" in Japan
Different from China's vacation, Japan's statutory holidays do not need to be adjusted, no need to make up for leave, that is to say, when the public holiday encounters a weekend, the two are both and do not overlap, in the case of holidays and weekends colliding, the first working day after the holiday will be used as a compensatory holiday, that is, "Zhen ti rest day"!
It's really sour...
"You can always trust Japan's statutory holidays, will be late but will never be absent..."
The following are the arrangements for Japan's statutory holidays in 2022:
January: Coming-of-Age Day (01/08 - 01/10)
Adult Day is a Japanese coming-of-age day, derived from the ancient Chinese coming-of-age ceremony, on which young people who have reached the age of 20 and are about to enter adulthood will change into traditional costumes to celebrate the meaningful coming-of-age ceremony and welcome a new beginning and a new life after adulthood.
February: National Foundation Day (February 11 - February 13)
The founding anniversary was actually designated as a festival to celebrate the founding of Japan, mainly to cultivate patriotism among the people and young people.
March: Vernal Equinus Day (March 19 - March 21)
Japan's Spring Equinox Day is similar to the Spring Equinox in the 24 solar terms of our country, and is intended to commemorate the revival of all things in the spring and is also the beginning of all things, and the Japanese people will commemorate it in the form of tomb sweeping on that day.
April: Showa Day (April 29 - May 01)
The Reason why the Japanese government established "Showa Day" is not only because it is the birthday of Emperor Showa, but also because the people remember the major events experienced by Japan during the Showa period, remember the past, and look at the future of the country.
May: Constitution Day, Green Day, Children's Day (May 3 - May 5)
The three consecutive days off are Constitutional Day, Green Day, and Children's Day. Green Day is equivalent to our Chinese Arbor Day, which encourages people to get close to nature and live a green life, and on the day of the festival, all parks in Japan will be open to the public.
July: Marine Day: July 16 - July 18
Hai の日, as the name suggests, is a festival of thanksgiving for the gifts of the sea.
September: Respect for the Aged: (September 17 - September 19)
Respect for the Elderly Day, similar to China's Chongyang Festival, is a festival that advocates respect for the elderly. As an aging society in Japan, this festival is a festival to make the people pay more attention to the elderly and respect the elderly, and it is also a festival to thank the elderly who have contributed their lives to society and pray for their health and longevity.
Autumnal Emineraries: (September 23 - September 25)
Like the spring equinox, the autumn equinox originated from the twenty-four solar terms, in order to honor the efforts of ancestors and to remember the days of the deceased ancestors.
Sports Day: (October 08 - October 10)
スポーツの日 is a day of sports in Japan, which originated from the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 1964 to encourage the people to enjoy the fun of sports, cultivate a spirit of sports that respects everyone, and create a healthy and vibrant society.
