Q: How long do Japanese “long” summer holidays last? – Chimi

A: Usually Japanese summer holidays last from around 海の日 (umi no hi) which is around July 21st to the beginning of September, so around 6 weeks (ish).  In Hokkaido it’s so cold in winter that their winter holiday is longer and they end the Summer holidays part way through August!
