20 business days × 8 hours = 160 working hours in August 2026, before any leave, and assuming a standard 8-hour day (40-hour week). On a 7.5-hour day the total is 150 hours; on a 7-hour day, 140 hours. Weekends and the national public holidays listed above are not worked, so they add no hours.

Start with every date in August 2026, keep the Mondays to Fridays, then remove the dates marked “Yes” in the holiday table above. The number you get is the one shown at the top of this page: 20. Dates marked “Regional or sector-specific only” are observed in part of Japan or in certain industries, so they are listed for reference but not deducted.
