“That ’s why.” Japan-Korea Exchange Festival Tokyo September 28, 17:57
The “Japan-Korea Exchange Festival” was held in Tokyo on the 28th to introduce Korean culture to Japan. Some people were worried about the impact of the worsening relationship between Japan and Korea, but more than 80,000 visitors are expected in the same two days as last year, the highest ever.
The “Japan-Korea Exchange Festival” is held every year in Tokyo and Seoul with the support of both Japanese and Korean governments.
The event in Tokyo will begin at Hibiya Park in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo from the 28th. At the opening ceremony, Ambassador to Korea, Nam Guan-Pyo said, “I hope that this will be an opportunity to deepen the friendship and understanding of the next generation of both countries. I greeted you.
The stage was followed by a performance by a Korean female group that combined Taekwondo and dance. In addition, a Korean food booth such as Chijimi and Norimaki was set up at the venue, and visitors were enjoying it.
There were voices concerned about the impact of the deepening political conflict, but according to the organizers, the number of sponsor companies and venues was almost the same as the previous year, and the number of visitors was the same as last year. We expect about 82,000 people in two days.
On the other hand, for the first time, there was a booth where people could freely exchange opinions with Korean students who came to Japan through an interpreter. It was.
A 29-year-old Japanese woman who visited the venue said, “This is why I think I should have more interaction. I hope the relationship will improve and improve.”
This event is open until 29th.
