There’s nothing busier than Golden Week in Japan — the tourism industry booms every year during this time as people plan big vacations domestically as well as abroad. 

Hotels, flights, transport and attractions will be booked up and packed; prices are through the roof! You may also find that some of the local businesses are closed during this week as the locals take time off to visit their family in a different prefecture or also travel for leisure themselves as well!


This episode breaks up into two sections: we’ll take a look at what exactly is golden week, and how you can celebrate it like a local!
