祝日クイズ　一般常識・雑学・話のネタに持ってこい！

The "Holiday Quiz: Perfect for General Knowledge, Trivia, and Conversation Starters!" application is designed to help you enhance your understanding of national holidays and improve your general knowledge. Have you ever found yourself in a conversation asking, "What holiday is it today?" It's quite common to forget or not know the specific holidays that are recognized as national days off.

To address this, I've created a simple quiz that helps you recall what day it is. The quiz is not just fun but also educational, as each question comes with an explanation based on the "Law Regarding National Holidays," which outlines the significance and purpose of each holiday. This can serve as a great trivia topic or a conversation starter at social gatherings.

It's important to note that while we often refer to holidays as "festivals," "holidays," or "celebratory days," these terms are actually colloquial. Until the abolition of the Imperial Ordinance for Ceremonial Rites in 1947, days designated for royal ceremonies and rites were called "ceremonial days." These days, along with national holidays, were collectively known as "ceremonial days." Since then, the correct term has been "national holidays" or "public holidays."

Additionally, there are two special types of holidays:

• Substitute Holiday: When a national holiday falls on a Sunday, the following day is given as a holiday.
• Citizen's Day: A day sandwiched between two holidays is also declared a holiday to prevent scattered long weekends.

Lastly, if you want to mute the audio during the quiz, use the volume buttons while the audio is playing. The mute button will not work for this purpose.

Enjoy the quiz and expand your knowledge about national holidays!
