山の日

I think Mountain's day is not known as widely as Sea's day.
Is it because the day is very close to Obon holiday, or because it has been a national holiday for only a decade or so?
Maybe it is only because I hardly go to mountains. 

山の日は海の日と比べて影が薄い気がします。
お盆近くで、祝日じゃなくても休みの人が多いからか、祝日になってまだ日が浅いからか。
私がほとんど山に行かないからかもしれませんね。
