Mountain Day

Mountain Day encourages appreciation of Japan’s mountains and the natural environment. Hiking and outdoor activities may be popular, but conditions and access vary by region.
Date source: Cabinet Office, “国民の祝日”.

• Weather matters most for mountain services: Demand for food, gear and activities can change with conditions.
• Review access and supplies: Shops near trail routes should confirm deliveries and safety notices.
• City demand varies: A midweek holiday may have a modest effect on ordinary neighbourhood services.
• Visitor enquiries: Share your hours; suggest checking transport and attraction notices directly.
• Check employment guidance: For private-sector days off, substitute holidays, staffing and pay arrangements, follow announcements from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.

• 30 days before: Decide Wednesday hours and check weather, access and deliveries if serving mountain visitors.
• 14 days before: Set each date’s special hours in Google Business Profile, including closed days. Publish a Post on the same day with the complete opening schedule.
• 7 days before: Repeat the one-day schedule and confirm whether reserved outdoor services can proceed.
• On the holiday: Verify that the posted hours still match actual operations. Check that the special hours will expire after their assigned dates rather than overwrite regular hours.
