Sea Day

Event Name: Sea Day

Background and Significance:
Sea Day is a national holiday in Japan, established to express gratitude for the blessings of the sea and to pray for the prosperity of Japan as a maritime nation. Its origins lie in giving thanks to the ocean, as Japan's history, culture, economy, and way of life as an island nation are deeply intertwined with the sea. The holiday also aims to raise public awareness about the importance of the ocean, including marine environmental protection and sustainable use.

History and Celebrations:
Sea Day was established in 1995 and was initiy fixed on July 20th. Since 2003, under the "Happy Monday" system, it has been moved to the third Monday of July. On this day, various marine-related events are held across Japan, such as port open days, ship tours, lectures on marine environmental protection, beach clean-up activities, and maritime fireworks displays. Many families also choose to vacation by the sea, enjoying swimming and marine sports.
