About this calendar
In 2027, Japan observes 16 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Labour Thanksgiving Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Japan moves a public holiday that falls on a Sunday to the next available weekday, a rule called furikae kyujitsu. Saturday holidays are not moved. A separate rule turns any single workday squeezed between two holidays into a holiday itself, which occasionally produces surprise long weekends.
