During this period, the market moves normally, but customer support for Japanese customers often has quite irregular holidays. And this is the same with the Obon. Obon is a holiday unique to Japan, and most companies take several days off around mid-August.
Trade during long holidays

Golden Week, Obon
Japanese traders often have holidays such as Golden Week and Obon, and the yen exchange rate tends to be trendy.
