The Centre’s premises will transform into a festive space where visitors can enjoy the colours, tastes, and sounds of Japan’s autumn season, according to the organisers.

At the festival, the public can participate in a variety of cultural activities such as Kendama, Shogi, and Origami, and admire a collection of traditional Ningyo dolls. In addition, performances of Yosakoi dance and Iaido swordsmanship will help create a lively and inspiring atmosphere at the festival.

Particularly, the festival will also host interesting workshops where participants can gain deeper insight into Japanese aesthetics and culture by creating Haiku poetry and engaging in round-table discussions about Japanese Autumn. These activities will not only deepen understanding but also provide an opportunity for cultural exchange among those who love Japan.

As night falls, the festival area will be illuminated with thousands of paper lanterns, creating a magical and serene atmosphere. The sounds of City Pop music from Japan will enhance the lively yet nostalgic ambiance of the festival, blending modern energy with a touch of the past.

In addition to these cultural experiences, the festival’s food stalls will offer a range of Japanese delicacies such as Onigiri rice balls, Takoyaki octopus balls, and traditional Japanese sweets. This will be a perfect opportunity to explore the unique flavours of Japan.

As both countries are welcoming the autumn, Aki Matsuri will be a chance for Hanoi residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the distinctive autumn spirit of Japan.
