帰省ラッシュ
의미: The massive homecoming rush during holiday seasons when millions of people simultaneously travel to their hometowns.
A seasonal phenomenon that defines Japanese holiday periods. During Obon (August) and New Year, highways become parking lots with 30-50km traffic jams, bullet trains sell out weeks in advance, and airports overflow. TV news dutifully reports the chaos every year, and 帰省ラッシュ footage has become a holiday tradition itself. The return trip (Uターンラッシュ) at the end of the holiday is equally brutal.
