What makes the Japan calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Japan signature lives in the other dates: 成人の日 (Coming of Age Day, 12 de enero), found in no other country in the dataset; 建国記念の日 (Foundation Day, 11 de febrero), found in no other country in the dataset; 天皇誕生日 (The Emperor's Birthday, 23 de febrero), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from 憲法記念日 (6 de mayo) to 海の日 (20 de julio): 75 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 16 nationwide holidays and 成人の日 will fall on a lunes (11 de enero).
