Holiday breaks
Shinjuku municipal school winter break: trips from Tokyo
Shinjuku City publishes the term dates for its own municipal schools. Winter break runs from 26 December 2026 to 7 January 2027, and the next term starts on 8 January. Other Tokyo wards, the rest of Japan and private schools set their own dates, so this page covers Shinjuku municipal schools only. Tokyo is the departure city; the example is a five-day family trip in January you can edit.
