It's Friday night, and the start of Silver Week, a special 5-day holiday that's being held for the first time this year. Walking through the streets of Maranouchi, the area around Tokyo Station, you can feel the excitement in the air as workers pour out of their offices and into bars and restaurants.
I'm meeting friends at a bar just across the road from Tokyo International Forum, an amazing fish-shaped building with glass walls and floating walkways.
Looking around me there's nothing but happy faces!
Do you have any special holidays at this time of year?
