One for those in Japan or with experience of 'Golden Week'.

I was hoping to go over April - May - June ish for my next visit but my Japanese boss said that around April - May is "difficult" (I read a Japanese "no" there).

Having done a little research it turns out that there's this thing "Golden Week" and from internet sources it seems that it would be impossible to move let alone enjoy yourself during this period. I mean, how can everywhere be busy? And, how does it affect people who are just at home?

Basically, should the end of April - May be avoided at all costs or should I ignore the hype?

I guess if I was going somewhere like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka I could maybe understand... but I'm going to Okayama...

I'd appreciate any further intel yous guys might have.

Cheers.
