🍂 The Magic of Silver Week! 🌕🎑
You may have heard of Japan’s famous Golden Week in spring—but this September, we’re bringing a much rarer Japanese holiday tradition to Port Angeles: Silver Week!
✨ What is Silver Week?
Silver Week is a special stretch of autumn holidays that only happens when Japan’s calendar lines up just right. In 2026, it creates a five-day holiday from September 19–23—the first full Silver Week since 2015!
At the heart of Silver Week are two meaningful Japanese holidays:
👵👴 Respect for the Aged Day — 敬老の日 (Keirō no Hi)
A day to honor our elders and show appreciation for their wisdom, experience, and contributions to our families and communities.
🍁 Autumnal Equinox Day — 秋分の日 (Shūbun no Hi)
A day marking the changing of the seasons, traditionally associated with family, remembrance, and welcoming the arrival of autumn.
And in 2026, something special happens between them: September 22 becomes a Citizens’ Holiday (国民の休日), connecting the holidays into the rare celebration known as Silver Week.
🌕 Celebrate Silver Week at Echo Neko
From September 19–26, we’re celebrating with a little Echo Neko twist—Japanese autumn flavors, special complimentary offers, and a perfect excuse to gather with friends, family, and maybe sing a few songs under the autumn moon. 🎤✨
🍘🎑 Check out our full Silver Week event details for complimentary specials and limited-time autumn treats!
秋を楽しみましょう！ — Let’s enjoy autumn together!
