Passengers wait for a train at Tokyo railway station on April 27, 2019, beginning of the unprecedented 10-day Golden Week holiday.TOKYO - Japan on Saturday kicked off an unprecedented 10-day holiday, including celebration days for the imperial transition, as airports were packed with record travellers while people queued at teller machines in the cash-dominated nation.

While many plan to commemorate the national ceremonies across the country, others are seizing the rare opportunity for a trip at home and overseas.A record 60,700 people were expected to go abroad from Narita airport, Tokyo's main gateway, on Saturday, Japan's public broadcaster NHK said. The number of travellers at home and overseas during the long holiday is expected to hit a record 24.67 million, according to Japanese travel agency JTB.

Cash is king in Japan and credit cards are much less popular than in other countries so it is common for people to carry around relatively large amounts of yen to pay for day-to-day things.
