Good to know

  • Results are schedule simulations and do not mean an employer will approve paid leave.
  • Japanese national holidays are not actual days off in every industry or workplace.
  • Shift workers should adjust the fixed weekly days off.
  • Holiday-aware planning is limited to the Cabinet Office-confirmed 2026-2027 calendar shown on the page.

FAQ

Does the planner require every available paid leave day?
No. The number is a maximum. A higher-ranked plan may use fewer days when it creates the same length of break more efficiently.
Which Japanese holiday dates are confirmed?
The page uses the Cabinet Office-published 2026 and 2027 holiday calendars, including substitute holidays and Citizens' Holidays. Later years are added only after official publication.
Does an ICS export include the whole holiday period?
No. It creates one all-day calendar event for each date on which the plan says to request paid leave.
Does this guarantee that leave will be approved?
No. It is a schedule simulation. Check workplace rules, staffing, and approval requirements before applying.
