Japan Mountain Day

A unique festival was born recently, which name is about hiking called ‘’Mountain Day’’ in Japan. Though its title is about mountain that lets us associate with the activity-walking mount, this holiday is for their people who overwork for their jobs.

‘’Karoshi’’ is the common social phenomenon in Japan, which means the death by overwork. So the day is established by their government to give their people a time off to rest. That’s why this special holiday appears on the world.
