Bridge day check
Falls on a Tuesday. Book the Monday off and you get a four-day weekend — expect a lot of colleagues to do exactly that.
Book off 10 Aug 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
Added in 2016 on 11 August, giving Japan a holiday in every month but June and often bridging into the Obon travel period.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and offices close; many firms extend into a full Obon week.
Getting around
Beginning of the Obon travel peak — book intercity travel well ahead.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
