Culture Day: November 3

Culture Day (文化の日 Bunka no Hi?) is a national holiday held annually in Japan on November 3 for the purpose of promoting culture, the arts, and academic endeavour. Festivities typically include art exhibitions, parades, and award ceremonies for distinguished artists and scholars.

Culture Day is statistically one of the clearest days of the year. Between 1965 and 1996, there have only been three years with rain occurring in Tokyo on Culture Day.[5]

Culture Day was first held in 1948, to commemorate the announcement of the post-war Japanese constitution on November 3, 1946.
