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.
- How long is the September 2026 break with two paid leave days?
- For a Saturday-Sunday schedule, September 19-23 is a five-day break without paid leave. Taking September 24 and 25 connects it through September 27 for nine consecutive days off.
- 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 the ICS export include the entire break?
- By default, only paid leave dates are exported as tentative all-day events. Select the entire-break option to add one event spanning the break. Import the downloaded .ics file into your calendar; it does not submit leave requests or sync automatically.
