This year’s Golden Week was a series of consecutive holidays, from April 26th to 27th, 29th, and May 3rd to 6th. How did you spend your Golden Week? While some people go back home or travel, many people choose to stay at home, but what is the reality? If you use paid leave, you can have up to 11 consecutive days off, but since the new fiscal year has just begun, I think many people were unable to take as much time off as they wanted. So this time, in collaboration with Feel Telephone Fortune Telling, we conducted a survey of 1,000 men and women nationwide about how they would spend their Golden Week holidays. ※When quoting the contents of this press release, please follow the instructions below. – Statement that the source is “Survey by NEXER Co., Ltd. and Telephone Fortune Telling Feel” – Link to Telephone Fortune Telling Feel

On the other hand, 82.7% of people did neither, which was an overwhelming majority. So, for those who went on a trip, where did they spend their Golden Week? We asked them in free-form where they went. Reasons for answering “Where did you travel?” ・Kinugawa Onsen. (Male, 20s) ・I went to Tokyo DisneySea. I stayed overnight at a hotel in Kameido the day before. (30s, female) – Visited relatives’ house in Los Angeles, USA, and Las Vegas. (40s, female) – Went on a tour of hot springs.

Reasons for answering “I go every year” ・I often go to my grandmother’s house. (Female, 20s) ・I have children, so I want to spend precious time with them in a fun way. (Woman in her 30s) – Because I want to go out since it’s my day off. (Woman in her 40s) – Because I’m bored even if I stay at home. (Woman in her 40s) – Because I like the outdoors. (Female, 40s) Reasons for answering “It’s sometimes both” ・It depends on whether you can take time off or not. (Female, 30s) – It depends on my mood at the time. (Male, 30s) – There are times when I can’t accompany them due to work commitments. (Female, 40s) – I make plans depending on whether I have something to do or not. (Male, 40s) – I want to avoid times when it’s expected to be crowded. (Male, 60s) Reasons for answering “I basically don’t go out” ・Because I want to relax. (Female, 30s) – Because I have work. (Male, 50s) – Because I want to save money. (Male, 50s) – Because it’s crowded and the prices are expensive. (Male, 60s) We found that people who don’t go out during Golden Week have reasons such as “I want to relax at home,” “I have work,” “The fees are high,” and “I want to save money.” Those who go out seem to be using Golden Week to spend time outdoors and with their children. ■79.5% have “been” to good luck spots while traveling Next, we asked if they had ever been to a good luck spot.

(Male, 30s) ・Ise Grand Shrine. (40s, female) ・Atsuta Shrine. (30s, female) ・Nikko Toshogu Shrine, Todaiji Temple, and Kiyomizu-dera Temple. (40s, female) ・Kinomiya Shrine.

(Male, 50s) In Japan, there are many shrines and temples, and many spots that are said to bring good luck. Many people were seen visiting good luck spots in various places to collect goshuin stamps and improve their luck. ■Summary This time, we conducted a survey on how people spent Golden Week and compiled the results. During this year’s Golden Week, 82.7% of people did not go to either holiday, 7.1% went home to their hometown, 9% went on a trip, and 1.2% did both, meaning that less than 20% of people went out. This year’s consecutive holidays may have had an impact, but when asked how they spend Golden Week every year, 66.9% of people answered that they “basically don’t go out.” The reasons given included “crowding,” “financial issues,” and “being busy at work,” and it seems that many people are not able to spend their holidays as they would like. Also, among those who enjoyed traveling, 79.5% said they visited good luck spots during their trip. It seems that there are many people who want to bring good luck and receive blessings. If you have worries about work, money, or insomnia, why not try a phone fortune-telling session with a skilled fortune-teller and get some advice? It is recommended because you can receive a consultation at any time you like in a calm place such as your home, without having to worry about crowds or busyness. ＜When using in articles, etc.＞ – Statement that the source is “Survey by NEXER Co., Ltd. and Feel Telephone Fortune Telling” – Link to Feel Telephone Fortune Telling (https://feel-i.jp/) 【About Feel Telephone Fortune Telling】 Operated by: Landscape Co., Ltd.
