Yes, Summer Vacation!! Kids are off for over a month!!

Japanese school is usually three semesters and first semester starts from April then then they have summer vacation from end of July. The second semester starts from September thus kids have over a month off during summer.

They need to do homework for summer vacation which is a lot of work. What they do during summer depends on parents but many of them go to summer special training such as swimming school or exercise classes.

Around middle of August, many Japanese companies also have summer vacation so many families go trip or go parent’s place.
