⚠️ Golden Week Logistics Note

During Golden Week (late April to early May, covering Showa Day, Constitution Day, Greenery Day, Children's Day), most Japanese businesses, banks, and logistics services suspend operations. Cross-border sellers should stock up at least 2 weeks early and avoid port clearance between Apr 25 and May 7.

⚠️ Obon — Unofficial but Widely Observed

Although Obon (mid-August) is not a statutory holiday, most Japanese companies grant leave (around Aug 13–16), halting factories and delaying logistics. Treat this period as de facto non-working days for Japan trade.
