Japan’s Bon holiday has sparked a nationwide travel surge, packing expressways, Shinkansen bullet trains, and domestic flights to near capacity. Millions are traveling for family reunions, ancestral visits, and summer getaways, creating traffic jams and overcrowded stations. The Tokaido, Tohoku, and Hokuriku Shinkansen lines reported standing-room-only conditions, while flights from Tokyo to Okinawa and Hokkaido saw over 90% bookings. Authorities added services, but congestion remains high through the holiday period.
