2025 What is Black Friday in United States? What About in Japan? Black Friday vs Cyber Monday? (Day After Thanksgiving)NEW

Date: Friday, 28 November, 2025       Time: All Day

Black Friday in the United States
Black Friday in the United States is an annual shopping event that takes place on the day after Thanksgiving, marking the beginning of the holiday shopping season. It is characterized by significant discounts and promotions offered by retailers both in physical stores and online. Originally associated with in-store shopping, Black Friday has evolved to include online deals, and many businesses extend their sales to the internet. The day is known for attracting large crowds of eager shoppers seeking bargains on a wide range of products. In recent years, the event has expanded to include the entire Thanksgiving weekend, leading up to Cyber Monday, creating a period of intense retail activity both in-store and online.

Black Friday in Japan
Black Friday is a major shopping event in the United States, and it is now celebrated in other countries as well, including Japan. In Japan, Black Friday sales typically start around November 24th and last for a few days or even a week. Some stores offer discounts of up to 50% or more on a variety of products, including electronics, clothing, and cosmetics. However, Black Friday is not as widely celebrated in Japan as it is in the United States. This is because Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Japan, so there is not the same cultural context for Black Friday. Additionally, Japanese consumers are generally more price-conscious than American consumers, and they are less likely to be swayed by big sales. Despite these challenges, Black Friday is still a growing event in Japan, and it is likely to become more popular in the years to come.

Should I Go?
For many consumers, Black Friday can be an opportunity to take advantage of significant discounts and save money on purchases, especially on big-ticket items like electronics, appliances, and clothing. However, the hectic shopping environment, long lines, and crowded stores may not appeal to everyone.

The decision to participate in Black Friday sales ultimately depends on personal priorities, budget considerations, and the value placed on the deals being offered. Some people enjoy the excitement and tradition of Black Friday shopping, while others may prefer to avoid the crowds and shop online or during less hectic times.

What is the Difference Between Black Friday & Cyber Monday
Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, and it is traditionally considered the start of the Christmas shopping season. Stores typically open early on Black Friday, and they offer deep discounts on a wide variety of products. Black Friday is known for its crowds and long lines, but it can also be a great opportunity to save money on holiday shopping.

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving, and it is the largest online shopping day of the year. Stores typically offer even deeper discounts on Cyber Monday than they do on Black Friday, and they may also offer exclusive online deals. Cyber Monday is a great time to shop for electronics, clothing, and other gifts.
