1.
spring break; spring vacation
The vacation period in spring between academic years, typically from late March to early April.
春休み is the school vacation period in spring, typically late March to early April.
Cultural note
The Japanese school year starts in April, so 春休み falls between academic years — after graduation in March and before the new term in April. It is typically about two weeks long, shorter than 夏休み.
