Japanese kids study only 6 months in a year???

Wow... Recently I befriended a Japanese friend who also joined NDP just like me. He told me that actually Japanese schools have a whopping 6 months of holiday. Holy cow.... Is it real or it is a hoax? This I wouldn't know.

He told me that in a calendar year, a typical students in Japan will have a 3 months break for summer holiday, and then there is another 2 months holiday which I forgot what it is for. And finally towards the end of the year, there is a 1 month break for Christmas holiday.

And really.... WOW!!!!

[Correction: Actually this applies to university and college students only. High school students have holiday ranging 4 ~ 5 months per academic calendar year]
