About Respect-for-the-Aged Day (Japan)

Respect-for-the-Aged Day is a public holiday in Japan.

In 2027 it falls on a Monday; in 2028 it’s on Monday 18 September, and in 2029 on Monday 17 September. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in September 2027: National Punch Day (20 Sep), International Day of University Sport (20 Sep) and International Day of Peace (21 Sep). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s the third Monday of September.
