    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.

Your favourite wordplay, pun, or palindrome in Japanese

BigfamJapan blogged about a day for palindromes, and I had a good chuckle. I love wordplay in Japanese! What's your favourite pun, palindrome, or spoonerism (a phrase that gets mangled into another meaning when you switch syllables). For reference, I cracked up when a coworker said "Naiyo ga nai yo" on finding an empty sweets packet.

Japanese Christmas songs

Do you like any Japanese Christmas songs? If so, what is your favorite Japanese Christmas song? Or maybe you like the Japanese version of a traditional Christmas carol?

Where do you visit Santa Claus?

Firstly, do you visit Santa Claus each year in Japan? And if so, where? I've been posting places you can meet Santa Claus in various parts of Japan on the blog section. If you are looking for somewhere to meet him this year, you'll find at least 25 places on City-cost.

Did you feel the December 8th earthquake?

There was a large earthquake off the coast of Aomori Prefecture at 11.15 pm on December 8th 2025. We are approximately 700 kilometers from the epicenter, yet we felt it very strongly. Did you feel it and how far away (roughly) are you from the epicenter?
