May Holiday Dates 2008

[koptergirl]

Am trying to discover when the official "golden week" will be for May 2008. As May 1st 2008 is a Thursday will the previous Monday April 28 to Wednesday April 30 be public holidays or will it be the following week?

In 2008, the weekends are placed unfavorably, resulting in a Golden Week, that consists of little more than an isolated public holiday (April 29) and a long weekend (May 3-5) as shown below.
Travel activity is anticipated to peak on May 3 with people leaving the large urban centers and on May 5 in the opposite direction. Click here for more information Japan guide.
Hope this helps.
Take care
