Golden Week in Tokyo 2014
Hello,
At the time when I booked my flights I wasn't aware that the final part of my Japan trip will be during the Golden Week - I arrive to Tokyo on 29 April and depart on 3 May.
Just wondering if there's anything I should know about it? Like are the shops closed on 29 April and 3 May (the last day of my Japan trip, always convenient for final shopping?)
If everything is closed, what shall we do instead?
Apart from a usual visit of places we love in Tokyo, we considered a visit to Yokohama, maybe Kamakura (if we don't get templed-out before that) or Nikko for day trips. Would this be anyhow affected by the holiday?
Thanks!
