[For Seniors] Introducing Trivia Related to May! (31–40)

Golden Week used to be called a “staggered holiday.”

May has a long holiday period, and it’s an exciting time to plan trips and look forward to fun.

However, after the Public Holiday Law was revised and May 4 also became a holiday in 1986, the term “Tobi-ishi Renkyū” fell out of common use.
