The official dates for the Golden Week is April 29 - May 6 and many companies in Japan are either closed or only partially staffed during this period. This is true for the sellers on ZenPlus and in some cases also the shipping companies in Japan.
Usually, Golden week ends on May 5, but since that date falls on a Sunday this year, May 6 is the last day.
The ZenPlus marketplace site, office and warehouse will remain open, but we too might be only partially staffed during these dates.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions, comments, or concerns if needed.
There may be slight delays in day-to-day operations (including ordering, packing, and shipping) as a result of the above mentioned businesses going on holiday throughout Japan.
We're very sorry for any inconvenience caused, but thank you kindly for your understanding and patience!
What is Golden Week?
🌸 April 29 - Showa Day (Showa no hi): This day honors the birthday of former Emperor Showa, who was really beloved. Fun fact: Until 2006, it used to be Greenery Day!
📜 May 3 - Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi): This marks the anniversary of Japan's postwar constitution coming into effect in 1947.
🌿 May 4 - Greenery Day (Midori no hi): Originally, this day was on April 29 but got moved. It's all about appreciating nature and green spaces. The Emperor himself was a big fan of plants!
🎏 May 5 - Children's Day (Kodomo no hi): This one's super cute! Families celebrate their sons' health and success by flying carp streamers and displaying samurai dolls. It's like a big wish for their future!
