Labor Thanksgiving Day (勤労感謝の日, Kinrō Kansha no Hi) is an annual public holiday in Japan celebrated on November 23 of each year,[1] unless that day falls on a Sunday, in which case the holiday is moved to Monday.[2]
The law establishing the holiday cites it as an occasion to respect labor, to celebrate production, and for citizens to give each other thanks.[3]
