In America (or in my school, at least), we get three months off for summer vacation, a week and a half off for winter vacation, and a week off for spring vacation. This is all time we get out of school. How is this different in Japan's schools? Is it true you only get a month off for summer vacation? Do you get winter and spring vacation? What do you do over those vacations? Are there any other holidays in Japan that are celebrated differently there than in America (or holidays not celebrated in America at all)? For example, we do not have White Day. Any other events or holidays?
