May the 5th forms part of the biggest holiday of the year (May the 6th 2019as May the 5th is a Sunday)
Only thing is that Golden Week will be bigger and longer than ever this year as extra dates relating to the coronation of the New Emperor will merge with it.
Golden Week 2019 runs from 29th April to 6th May - inclusive. It is going to be a very big deal.
You may want to run your itinerary through for advice on what to expect. Some things may be enhanced by the holidays, more likely they will be more difficult or even impossible.
