    According to the JR rail pass site, it says "in 2020, April 29 falls on a Wednesday. Festivities and travel are expected to continue through Tuesday, May 5." Hope that helps for any travel planning you're doing!

    Golden Week is on the same date every year. It consists of the National Holidays April 29 and May 3 to 5. If one of these falls on a Sunday the next following workday would turn into a holiday. In 2020 May 3 is on a Sunday so May 6 becomes a holiday. In 2019 Golden Week was longer than usual due to the new era starting.

What do you most associate with Wakayama?

Today, November 22nd, is Wakayama Prefecture Hometown Birthday. What do you most associate with Wakayama Prefecture? To be honest, I realized in writing about this 'birthday', that I know next to nothing about Wakayama Prefecture. I'm really interested to hear what your image of the prefecture is.

How well does your home country insulate homes compared to here?

One thing I struggle with is the lack of insulation in Japanese homes, with summers often feeling like you're living in a sauna and winters feeling like outside is the same temperature as inside. In saying that, my home country isn't fab with insulation either. They're still very much a nation of single paned windows and minimal stuff in the walls to regulate temperature well. Does your home country do insulation well compared to here?
