Topic: Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr
Does Japan have Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr?
Not observed here
Japan has no Eid al-Fitr. All sixteen national holidays are written into the Act, changing them means amending it, and Japan has no local mechanism for a religious holiday. In practice Ramadan and Eid fall on ordinary working and school days: the congregational prayer at the mosque is usually set at dawn or the earliest slot of the day so that people can go on to work. Elsewhere on this page the comparison is how many days off; in Japan's cell it is how the day is fitted into a day that offers none.
What is this topic?
Taiwan does not make Eid al-Fitr a statutory holiday; in Indonesia, the first day of Ramadan is announced by the Ministry of Religious Affairs at the preceding night's sidang isbat, while the Eid break is scheduled separately around 1 Shawwal. This page separates “when Indonesia starts fasting” from “when Eid leave begins” and compares the institutional treatment in India, Taiwan, the United States, and mainland China.
