Golden Week refers to the cluster of national holidays that fall on April 29th, and May 3rd, 4th and 5th. Golden Week is one of the three biggest holiday times in Japan, and many companies will close from the 29th through the 5th, giving employees time to vacation or return to their home towns to meet with family.
We also have these days off, but as we weren't sure whether we'd have to work or not, we failed to plan ahead and are left without either flights or hotels for this period. This is okay, since our motorcycle school is open from the 29th to the 1st, so we're two hours of lessons each day. After than, from the 2nd, I haven't given up hope and am doing some research to at least find a hotel in Izu for a night or two, but the days we want to travel is the peakest of the peak season, so prices are high and availability limited.
Perhaps this holiday will give us a chance to catch up on exercise, and just rest and relaxation.

Hey there - I was wondering with all this motorcycle talk if you are thinking of dirt biking or motocross as a future activity. I know you love the off road stuff on bikes so...
Enjoy the time off I hope you get a chance to catch up on both R&R and exercise - they are both closely related after all.
