Event summary

Highlights

  • Hanbok try-ons
  • K-pop-style makeovers
  • Direct cultural exchanges with young Koreans and Japanese
  • 20th anniversary celebration
This three-day festival, observed from Friday through Sunday, aims to deepen cultural understanding between Korea and Japan. It originated in 2005 to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. For its 20th edition, the festival moved from its previous outdoor location at Hibiya Park to an indoor format at the Korean Cultural Center in Tokyo. This new venue allowed organizers to highlight the latest Korean products and trends, alongside traditional cultural activities and performances. Organizers anticipated nearly 6,000 visitors, who engaged in hands-on experiences and interacted with young volunteers, including those from the JENESYS cultural exchange program. The hanbok try-on experience was particularly popular, drawing long queues.
