It is on Golden Week hollidays now, GW is a week contains a series of national holidays within a week starting from April 29th. So It is often considered as vacation for Japanese.
It is crowded everywhere in Japan during GW every year. Bullet trains, flight tickets, hotels are fully reserved, parking are full anywhere.
Accoring to news, tourest spots and the central area of the city are quite but nature parks or places full of nature and grossary stores are packed instead.
My cousin come and stay with her sons every year, but because we have been asked to stay at home, they canceled.
I have been staying at home.
