十二月二十九日(jyunigatsu nijyuku nichi): December 29

Many people have the year-end and New Year holidays from today to January 3. This period is called nenmatsu nenshi (年末年始). Nenmatsu is year-end, nenshi is beginning of the year.
Some people go abroad such as Guam or Hawaii to spend their holidays to relax at the beach, others go home to meet their families. So railroads and express ways are crowded. This is called kisei rush (帰省ラッシュ).
