Japanese people usually have about a week off at the end of the year to the beginning of the new year. This year most companies close on December 29 and start on January 4, 2010. So there will be 6 days off. However some people take a few extra days off on 24, 25, and 28 to have a long vacation. If you take days off on 21and 22 too, you will have 16 days off.
Today was the departure peak of people who left Japan to spend holidays abroad. From the Narita Airport (成田空港：narita kuko) only about 40,700 people went abroad, and from Kansai International Airport (関空：kanku) about 16,900 people left.
The popular destinations are Korea, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South-East Asian countries, Guam, and Europe.
The returning peak is expected be on January 2 or 3.
During the winter vacation (from December 18 to January 4) it is estimated that about 1,280,000 passengers will come and go through the Narita Airport.
The peak of homecoming by train is estimated on December 30, and of returning is on January 3.
How will you spend your winter vacation?
