The Public Holiday Law (国民ã®ç¥æ—¥ã«é–¢ã™ã‚‹æ³•å¾‹, Kokumin no Shukujitsu ni Kansuru HÅritsu?) of 1948 (as amended) establishes the occasions on which Japan has a legal holiday. This article lists those dates.
A provision of the law establishes that when a national holiday lands on a Sunday, the next day (Monday) shall become a public holiday. (Such days are commonly known as furikae kyÅ«jitsu (振替休日, furikae kyÅ«jitsu? lit. transfer holiday).) Additionally, when a day is sandwiched between two national holidays, that day shall also become a holiday, known as kokumin no kyÅ«jitsu (国民ã®ä¼‘æ—¥, kokumin no kyÅ«jitsu? lit. national day of rest). May 4th, sandwiched between Constitution Memorial Day on May 3rd and Children's Day on May 5th, was such a holiday until it was replaced by Greenery Day in 2007. By the same law, September 22, 2009 is supposed to be a national holiday because the autumnal equinox is expected to land on September 23 that year; however, the date of the autumnal equinox will not be officially decided until February 1 of that year.
