Japan’s “golden week” holidays began early as hordes of travel-starved people packed airports and train stations over the weekend to head back to their hometowns or visit popular destinations including Okinawa and Hokkaido.

Many took the first two days of the working week off to make the most of the holiday season, which begins on Wednesday and lasts until May 5.

Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways reported that bookings to domestic destinations over the holiday season had recovered significantly and stood at around 90 per cent of the figure for 2019, the last golden week before the coronavirus pandemic caused chaos in the travel industry.

Research by domestic travel giant JTB Corp showed that around 24.5 million Japanese planned to holiday for at least one night in Japan during the golden week season, more than in 2019.
