The 2023 Silver Week schedule is a three-day weekend from September 9th to 16th. Since it starts on Saturday, September 18th, and the Autumn Equinox on September 3rd falls on a Saturday, it is difficult to take consecutive holidays.However, if you use your paid leave to take four days off from September 9th to 16nd, you will have a maximum of 9 consecutive days off.
In the "Awareness Survey on How to Spend Silver Week in 2022" conducted by ROI Co., Ltd., approximately 70% of people said they "went out during Silver Week."Most of the destinations are domestic or nearby.Approximately 65% of people responded that they "want to travel again next year," and the survey results show that demand for travel is gradually recovering after the coronavirus pandemic.
Since Silver Week in 2023 will be a three-day holiday, it is expected that most people will travel domestically, or even locally, rather than overseas.Even if they decide to extend their trip by visiting nearby tourist spots, participating in events such as autumn festivals held nearby, or enjoying day trips, many people will choose locations that are easily accessible from home. Is it not?
Below is a list of popular prefectures as travel destinations for Silver Week, based on the ``Ranking of popular prefectures for activities, leisure, experiences, and fun during Silver Week'' based on Activity Japan reservation data.

Even if you're thinking, "I want to take the trip I've been waiting for during Silver Week in 2023," many may want to choose a nearby or easily accessible destination for the three-day holiday.If you want to plan a fulfilling trip even if it is short, we recommend improving the quality of your trip.Why not enjoy a richer trip than usual by choosing a slightly better hotel or inn, or improving the quality of your meals?
If you want to plan a rich trip nearby this Silver Week, we recommend glamping.In addition to visiting tourist spots around the facility and enjoying the autumn scenery including the autumn leaves, there are many ways to have fun within the facility as well.In addition to easy outdoor activities, some facilities are equipped with hot springs, saunas, pools, bars, and more.
Another appeal of glamping facilities is that they are located in open spaces full of natural surroundings, yet are easily accessible from major cities such as Tokyo and Osaka.Therefore, this time, as part of our special feature on Silver Week, we will introduce five carefully selected glamping facilities from around the country that are recommended for travel destinations.
