Meanwhile, a festival of Japanese flavors can be celebrated at the food booths that offer visitors their all-time favorite Japanese snacks and beverages such as Pocky, takoyaki, gyoza, and Japanese beer among others. After having a snack, visitors may drop by the festival (Omatsuri) area for various fun games and exciting activities for kids and children at heart.
To further showcase the country’s rich and fascinating culture, the Japan Fiesta Council has also invited Namahage Satokagura, Taiko Drummers, and a guest performer from Japan to celebrate the country’s unique heritage and traditions through music and the performing arts. OtaCutE, on the other hand, will take Japan Fiesta visitors to the world of cosplay through various stage and booth activities.
The influence of Japanese culture to the Philippines can also be witnessed through jawdropping performances by local and international artists, including all-girl groups MNL48 and R RULES, as well as through a special appearance of half-Japanese beauty queen Yana Fuentes.
This much-anticipated event will be hosted by the fun trio composed of Japanese singer Aisaku Yokogawa, The Voice Kids finalist Sharla Cerilles, and Japanese comedian Yuki Horikoshi. www.japanfiesta.ph
