Japan’s Golden Week holiday exodus got under way on Saturday as travelers flooded train stations and airports across the country.
This coming Monday, Thursday and Friday are national holidays and many people will also be taking Tuesday and Wednesday off, giving them nine consecutive holidays.
Travelers crowded Narita, Haneda and Kansai international airports. Narita officials said up to 56,000 people are expected to depart by Saturday night, while around 28,000 are expected to leave from Haneda.
Travel agencies and airlines said Asian resorts were the most popular destinations this year because of the increase in the number of low cost carriers, which offer cheap airfares.
