Most of Japanese students are now in spring vacation (haru yasumi 春休み). It is about 10 days long for elementary school, junior high school, and high school students. Since it is the time of promoting to the new grade, usually they do not have homework.
Summer vacation (natsu yasumi 夏休み)is about 40 days long and winter vacation (fuyu yasumi 冬休み)is about 2 weeks. However it depends on the region. For the northern area winter vacation is longer than other places because of the cold and snow. For the southern area summer vacation is longer than other places because of the heat.
Japanese public schools usually have 3 terms, therefore students have homework during summer and winter vacation. Schools adopting the semester have different vacation schedules.
Vacations for adults depends on the company or agency they are working. However the average paid holidays for the new employee are about 10 days in the first year.
