Selected year: 2026. The page keeps the calendar structure stable and only swaps the year and holiday data, so you can compare one year with the next without losing context.

Historical note: holiday coverage for older years depends on the public rules available for Japan. The calendar layout itself remains exact even when the holiday list is shorter.

Useful next steps: compare the current time on Compare time, inspect offsets on Time zones, or check the base reference on UTC.
