The country observes sixteen national holidays, from the New Year's celebrations and Coming of Age Day in January to the emperor-related dates and Culture Day in November. Golden Week in late April and early May — Shōwa Day, Constitution Day, Greenery Day and Children's Day — creates the year's biggest travel season, while the Obon festival in August, though not an official holiday, sends millions back to their hometowns.
