Calendar Of Japan Holidays Year 2025

Japanese celebrate a variety of national holidays, festivals, and other national observances throughout the year. Japanese holidays can be patriotic, religious, secular, international, or uniquely Japanese. In Japan, if a national holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is also turned into a holiday. Likewise, a day sandwiched between two national holidays is turned into a holiday. Employees will receive holiday pay for statutory annual holidays. Employees must use available vacation, unpaid time off, or a combination of these, on closure days that are not designated as holidays, unless management provides additional time off for this purpose. Employees are eligible for paid holidays beginning on first day of employment if scheduled to work 20 or more hours per week. Temporary and casual employees are not eligible for paid holidays.

The following is a compilation of Japanese national holidays, national observances, patriotic commemorations and important secular events that apply during 2025:
