Yes, I know that the Golden week has passed last week, but considering how important this holiday is for Japanese people, we decided to make a symbolic giveaway to our citizens and celebrate this occasion/holiday.
But before that here are some basic informations about the Golden Week for those who are not familiar with this holiday.



The Golden Week is a collection of four national holidays within seven days and it's held during the first week of May each year.

The national holidays making up the Golden Week are:
- April 29th: Showa Day (Showa no hi):
April 29th is the birthday of former Emperor Showa, who died in the year 1989. Until 2006, Greenery Day used to be celebrated on this day.
-May 3r😛 Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi):
On this day in 1947, the new postwar constitution was put into effect.
-May 4th: Greenery Day (Midori no hi):
Until 2006, Greenery Day used to be celebrated on April 29, the birthday of former Emperor Showa. The day is dedicated to the environment and nature, because the emperor loved plants and nature. Before being declared Greenery Day, May 4 used to be a national holiday due to a law, which declares a day, that falls between two national holidays, a national holiday.
-May 5th: Children's Day (Kodomo no hi):
The Boy's Festival (Tango no Sekku) is celebrated on this day. Families pray for the health and future success of their sons by hanging up carp streamers and displaying samurai dolls, both symbolizing strength, power and success in life. The Girl's Festival ( Hinamatsuri ) is celebrated on March 3.
