The Japanese Language and Culture Festival was successfully held on the afternoon of November 8. Many participants attended and enjoyed the event. They enthusiastically joined activities such as Japanese trial lessons, dialect sessions, and seminars on Japanese culture (including exchanging business cards, seating arrangements, visiting shrines, and enjoying hot springs). Others took part in cultural experiences such as wearing a yukata, singing karaoke, learning origami, and playing kendama (a traditional Japanese game).

In addition, participants showed great interest in the booths showcasing tourist attractions from various prefectures. We believe that today’s event allowed participants to experience the fascinating and interesting aspects of Japanese language and culture.
