Emperor Hirohito died on January 7 , 1989 . Since that year, April 29 was no longer celebrated as The Emperor's Birthday but instead as Greenery Day (みどりの日 ''Midori no hi''), part of Japan's Golden Week . After many legislation attempts since 2000 , Greenery Day finally won approval to be renamed to Shōwa Day in May 2005 . Also, the date of Greenery Day was decided to be moved from April 29 to May 4 .
