Golden Week is one of the most popular times to travel in Japan. And while this may sound great for a second, what it actually means is crowds, sky-high prices for hotels, and even more crowds.
Golden Week 2026 This year’s official Golden Week holidays extend from Apr. 29 to May 6. While May 2-3 are also official holidays, they fall on the weekend. Expect travel crowds to peak on the evening of Monday, May 5 and the morning of Wednesday, May 6.
If you live and work in Japan, this might be your best (or only) opportunity to travel. However, if you can travel any time other than Golden Week, we recommend doing that instead! During Golden Week, it can be hard to get plane, train, and bus tickets, as many will be sold out in advance.
