Fitness/Sports Day (Mon. 10/9)
Hello there!
I'll be in Tokyo for my first trip to Japan from 10/6-10/10 and it seems as though there is a national holiday on the second Monday of every October that roughly translates to Sports Day. And so I am curious to know what to expect? Which kinds of businesses will be closed?
Thanks!

Its not one of the major holidays, expect government, public sector services and banks to be closed. Trains will continue to operate on time, most department stores, shopping, resturants etc will continue to be open.

Museums that are usually closed on Mondays are open on holiday Mondays -- but they close the next day (Tuesday) instead. So you might actually benefit since all the museums will be open on your last full day in Japan.
