Marine Day

Today July 17th is Marine day in Japan! It is a national holiday, so most of the Japanese people enojoyed three continuous holidays. I said "enjoyed" since it is July 18th in Japan now. Does Marine day sound odd to you? Yeah, I agree with you! The reason that the day was made is there were no national holidays in July. Therefore, there is no origin of Marine day and I guess Japanese government decided the name of the day is just because July is during summer when people enjoy going to beaches. Hahaha.
