Japanese winter festival opens in HCM City

Thousands of young locals are celebrating the Fuyu Matsuri winter festival at Ho Chi Minh City’s Youth Culture Theatre on February 15.

The festival offers Vietnamese attendees a valuable chance to learn more about Japanese culture by playing games, enjoying Japanese cuisine, costume play, and karaoke contests. 

Traditional Japanese couture like Kimono, Yukata, and Furisode were available to try.

Stalls displayed and sold Japanese handicrafts including Hina dolls, Hagoita arts, Ichimatsu, and Maneko Neko towels.

Japan celebrates a major festival with the arrival of each of the four seasons. Winter begins in mid-December and lasts to the end of February.

Fuyu Matsuri is observed for two days.
