According to a meeting held on March 3 by the "Leave Distribution Working Team" (WT) established by the Government's Tourism Promotion Headquarters, the basic policy on the decentralized consecutive holidays being studied this time is as follows That's right.

· Do not increase the number of days for "public holidays" that will be holidays.
· For "National holidays" in Golden Week and Happy Monday, consider the meaning as "memorial day" and the meaning as "holiday" separately.
· These "national holidays" are set to be dispersed for each regional block in May (Golden Week), October (Silver Week) as a holiday, leaving on the traditional day as an anniversary.

And "5 week plan" and "2.5 week plan" are presented as regional distribution plan of the Golden Week and Silver Week.

This is the "5 week plan" of the regional distribution plan of Golden Week. Three days from May 3 to May 5 is treated as a weekday rather than a "holiday" though it is an "anniversary".


"2.5 weeks plan" is like this. All regions will finish taking consecutive holidays during May.


On July 20th, Senior Citizen's Day (September 15th), and Physical Education Day (October 10th) subject to the current Happy Monday system as "Memorial Day" as a non-holiday traditional day It is also considered to set holidays as a separate silver week while returning to "Silver Week" "5 week plan" is below.


This is "2.5 week plan".

· Manufacturers that are nationwide deployed have different holidays depending on the factory, which may interfere with the supply chain cooperation and affect international competitiveness
· Sales representatives are required to deal with business areas when they are open even on holidays, and the burden on corporate side holiday work allowance increases
