Higher points late April/early May Aulani?

Hi, What is the deal with the week of April 29 to May 5 designated as the highest point category for Aulani? It's listed like that for 2020, 2021, 2022. Same points as for peak summer, Christmas, New Year's and Easter. The WDW resorts do not have that week in the highest category.
And it's not Easter.
I would have thought it was because of the DCL cruise, but that wouldn't account for it being in all 3 of those years, nor does that take into account people staying at Aulani after the cruise TO Hawaii, but it is sure costly for those wanting to stay at Aulani before cruising Honolulu to Vancouver.
Adding: I looked up state-specific holidays and that doesn't explain it either. Is their Spring Break later than the mainland?
Thanks!

It's Golden Week, a Japanese Holiday. It's a very popular vacation week in Japan. Many Japanese vacation in Hawaii.

Thank you! I knew to look at least for Hawaiian specific holidays and (shame on me) did not think about nearby countries. That totally explains it. Too bad the days before the Hawaii-Vancouver cruise are right at that time (point-wise), but I'm glad I banked some from this past UY I can use to help, so we won't end up needing to borrow unless we add another day.
