The Public Holiday Law of 1948 establishes the occasions on which Japan has a legal holiday. This article lists those dates. Single days between two national holidays are taken as a bank holiday. This applies to May 4, which is a holiday each year. When a national holiday falls on a Sunday the next day that is not a holiday (usually a Monday) is taken as a holiday. from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
