Japanese law stipulates that if there is only one non-holiday
in between two public holidays, that day should become an additional holiday,
known as a Kokumin no kyūjitsu (lit. Citizens' Holiday).
It is unusual for September to get this extra holiday,
so the presence of a "silver week" wasn't widely noted before 2009.

In Japanese pseudo-anglicism, "silver" is a commonly used,
The term "silver week" refers to the second rank after
the more famous "Golden Week".
The holiday period is sometimes used for foreign travel.

Silver Week 2015 is from 19th to 23rd.
If you want to come to Japan, I don't reccomend to choose the date during Silver Week.
Many Japanese people are everywhere in famous place in Japan.

Japan is getting cold little by little. Summer is almost over.
It is good for you to travel!!
