⛩🍱🍁Simple Autumn Festival: Fancy Kenpo is so exciting❤️ Tokushima Awa Dance is a must-see every year❤ "Japan Autumn Festival in Hong Kong" 2021 More than 100 certified activities to cure homesickness
This is my fifth year participating in the Japan Autumn Festival. Once again, I would like to thank the Consul General of Japan in Hong Kong for the invitation and for sending me my favorite flowers shipped from Kyushu. They are very beautiful. Thank you❤️.
Since 2016, the "Japan Autumn Festival in Hong Kong" Executive Committee has held a large-scale autumn event "Japan Autumn Festival in Hong Kong - Rediscovering the Charm -" around October and November every year. With the cooperation of Japanese cultural groups, schools, companies, local government agencies, as well as companies and groups in Hong Kong and third countries or regions, the event introduces the various charms of Japan to Hong Kong citizens.
"Japan Autumn Festival in Hong Kong" officially opened on September 23, 2021 and will last for about 2 months. So far, there are more than 100 certification activities covering different fields such as film, performing arts, arts and crafts, food, sports, knowledge exchange, sales promotion, etc.
Ambassador Kenichi Okada, Consul General of Japan in Hong Kong, mentioned at the press conference: "Hong Kong is an extremely important partner for Japan. The two countries have close economic relations and frequent personnel exchanges. Currently, there are more than 1,400 Japanese companies developing in the Hong Kong market. I am very grateful for the support of Hong Kong's efficient and fair business environment for these Japanese companies. In addition, there is also a personal friendship and trust between Japan and Hong Kong that goes beyond exchanges between governments and organizations. In Hong Kong society, Japanese culture, language, food and goods are everywhere, and Japan has always been the favorite tourist destination for Hong Kong people. I am really grateful to people from all walks of life in Hong Kong for their love for Japan! Even if you can't go to Japan, I hope everyone can experience Japan through the "Autumn Festival". I look forward to meeting you at various "Japan Autumn Festival" event venues!"
I like to see fancy kendo the most. Even children can play it to perfection, which is worth appreciating. The "Autumn Awa Dance" performance in Tokushima Prefecture is also the autumn festival with the best atmosphere. I was fortunate to have visited it in Tokushima that year. The atmosphere was really good, and you could drink sake and taste delicious food. Remember that there will be an Aikido demonstration on October 16th to let the public know about this traditional Japanese martial art.
