Cultural exchange event highlights Japan’s charm in Ha Noi

Japan

A festival featuring a taste of Japanese culture is scheduled to be held at the Ly Thai To flower garden in Ha Noi from March 23-26.

The event – jointly organised by the Ha Noi municipal People's Committee and the Japanese Embassy in Viet Nam – is one of a series of activities planned to commemorate 45 years of Viet Nam-Japan diplomatic ties.

During the four-day festival, visitors will be able to experience traditional Japanese handicrafts and delicacies, a Japanese tea ceremony, kimono fashion shows, and traditional folk dances and games.

The event will include traditional art performances such as Ca Tru (ceremonial singing) and Xam singing (ballads sung by wandering blind musicians) by artists from Ha Noi.

In addition, an investment and tourism promotion programme between Ha Noi and Japan, and exchange activities on education and health, will also be held during the festival.
