I’ve probably mentioned it a few times before, but the Japanese love holidays!
Right now is the big one – Golden Week. This holiday, as the name implies, lasts for an entire week. It starts on April 29th, to celebrate the former Emperor’s Birthday, and concludes on May 5th with the celebration of Children's Day. Technically, Monday the 2nd isn’t a holiday, but many offices in Japan are closed on this day as well.
If you happen to be in Osaka during this holiday period, don’t worry, the city hardly shuts down for anything. In fact, retail shopping, leisure activities and local tourism spots are on fire during this weeklong period. Expect a slightly more crowded Kansai, especially in and around Umeda.
