How the working week works in Japan
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.
