While we are all busy here in the States, Japan slows down and travels to mark 'Golden Week' in the first week of May with four different holidays in 7 days. It actually started on April 29 with 'Greenery Day' celebrating nature and draws to a close with 'Children's Day' on May 5th.
Many countries celebrate Labor Day on May 1st but in the US we do that in September.
I found out about 'Golden Week' while checking PingMag, a Tokyo based online Design magazine.
