山の日

Mountain Day (Yama no Hi) on August 11 is a Japanese holiday to appreciate mountains and their nature.

Planning around August 2026

August is the hottest month in Japan, humid across most of the country. The mid-August Obon period sees one of the year's largest travel peaks as families return to hometowns.

  • Mountain Day (11 August) often connects with the Obon period to form an extended summer break for many workplaces.
  • Travel during the Obon period (around mid-August) is extremely busy — book well ahead.
