Umi no hi — 3-day holiday weekend in Japan
The 3Yen is on vacation—Monday is Marine Day Umi no hi, which makes a 3-day holiday weekend here in Japan. Marine Day is claimed to be, “a day of gratitude for the blessings of the oceans and to hope for the economic prosperity of maritime Japan.” It is just made up holiday for fun of it. That is, it’s just a “secular holiday” without any traditional ceremonies associated with the day except traditional pachinko as shown below.
