Japan seems to be on fire with Pokemon GO recently, as they’ve been getting a lot of love from Niantic and The Pokemon Company.
Today, the official Pokemon GO account for Japan announced that they will be celebrating their “Golden (Goruden) Week” in style:
- From April 29 to May 7, every PokeStop that happens to be a McDonald’s (Pokemon GO sponsor), will be lured!
- Includes 2500 PokeStops
Goruden Week is a week long celebration in Japan, covering a number of holidays happening through out the week:
- April 29
- The Emperor’s Birthday (天皇誕生日 Tennō Tanjōbi?), until 1988[1]
- Greenery Day (みどりの日 Midori no Hi?), 1989-2006[2]
- Shōwa Day (昭和の日 Shōwa no Hi?), 2007-present[2]
- May 3
- Constitution Memorial Day (憲法記念日 Kenpō Kinenbi?)
- May 4
