The rescheduling of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games to 2021 has prompted Japan again to reshuffle its national holiday calendar.
Marine Day shifts from the third Monday in July to Thursday, July 22, the day before the Olympics opening ceremony.
Sports Day moves from October to July 23, the day of the opening ceremon.
Mountain Day falls on August 8, to coincide with the closing ceremony, rather than the usual August 11.
