Holiday breaks
Fukuoka winter school break (planned): family trips
Important scope: these are PLANNED dates from Fukuoka City's three-term table for municipal primary, middle and special schools. Many schools run two terms and are explicitly excepted; if yours is one, check its own calendar first. In the three-term table, the term closes on 23 December 2026 and the next opens on 7 January 2027, so 24 December – 6 January is a derived potential window to confirm with your school. High schools are listed separately, closing on 18 December and returning on 7 or 8 January depending on the school. Spring term ends on 24 March 2027; the next return is not verified.
