There are 242 working days in Japan in 2026. That's calculated from 365 calendar days minus 104 weekend days and 19 public holidays that fall on a weekday. The remaining 2 public holidays land on weekends and don't reduce the working-day count.
Japan has 1936 working hours in 2026, based on the 40-hour statutory work week (8 hours per day × 242 working days). Source: Japanese Labour Standards Act.
21 public holidays fall in 2026: 元日 (2026-01-01); 銀行休業日 (2026-01-02); 銀行休業日 (2026-01-03); 成人の日 (2026-01-12); 建国記念の日 (2026-02-11); 天皇誕生日 (2026-02-23) and 15 more.
No — only nationwide public and bank holidays defined by Japanese Labour Standards Act are subtracted. Regional, observance, and optional holidays vary by state or canton and aren't included so the headline figure stays consistent for nationwide payroll, billing, and capacity-planning use.
