May
Constitution Day, celebrated on May 5th, is a special day in Japan. It marks the anniversary of the day in 1947 when Japan's new constitution started. This important document is like a big rulebook that outlines how the country is run, the rights of its people, and important laws and principles. On this day, people in Japan often learn more about their government's history and talk about freedom and peace. Many places like the parliament open their doors for people to visit and learn. It's part of a week called "Golden Week" with several holidays close together.
