I'm trying to find a calendar that shows school and/or job breaks in Japan. So far I know when the holidays are but not when people actualy take vacation. Also, I want to know if their vacation is defined by dates or by weeks: do they take off the second week or April regardless of the date or is it April 3 through April 8 and it doesn't matter wherther it's Monday or Wednesday. Does anyone know about such a calendar? Note: Dates will be different by region and/school, I just want a general idea....

Paid holiday must be more than 10 days in a year but people does not or cannot use it for long term vacation. People take a short vacation in ; Golden Week : April 29 to May 5 Winter : few days or a week around New Year's Day Summer : few days or a week around August 15
