Return Home
Many Japanese travel for returning home during Bon holiday (mid-August) and New year holiday. As many of us reserve seats in train or plane more than one month to coincide with release , most trains and planes which go from city to country are nearly full booked on that release day.
Families with small children like me return home in good season, dealing with boisterous children by myself.
If you are thinking of traveling to Japan, I think it's better to avoid it during the period. Although Thokyo may be much less crowded than usual. hee-hee.
