bill937ca Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It is already April and time to remind everyone that Golden Week arrives at the end of April and as other years all dealers will close and shipments will cease. So far I haven't actually seen any closure notices which is unusual. The holidays that form the basis of Golden Week are: Friday April 29 Showa Day (Showa no hi) Tuesday May 3 Constitution Day (Kenpo kinenbi) Wednesday May 4 Greenery Day (Midori no hi) Thursday May 5 Children's Day (Kodomo no hi) [EDIT: weekdays corrected] The timing of the individual days this year does not line up as favourably for a two weekend shutdown as other years such as 2012. Golden Week 2012 will be a very long break, probably about 10 days. Shortly after Golden Week follows the 50th Shizuoka Hobby Show which is the first hobby show of the new fiscal year. The Shizouka Hobby Show allows the first look at what's new for 2011. Usually the first two days are trade only and the Saturday and Sunday are open to the public. The dates for 2011 are Thursday May 12th to Sunday May 15th. Link to comment
