One clear reason why Japanese economy sucks is related number of working days. This year Japan is observing 17 holidays (day offs). Compared to that the US has following 7 National Holidays.

– New Year's Day
– Memorial Day
– Independence Day
– Labor Day
– Veterans Day
– Thanksgiving
– Christmas

There are bank/trading holidays but they are not day offs to most people in the US. Also, in China there are 7 National holidays and those are

- New Year
- 1st lunar month
- Qingming Festival
- Labour Day
- Dragon Boat Festival
- Mid-Autumn Festival
- National

Come on, if you think you can compete with other nations by having 10 more days of holidays, you are dreaming.
