The festival will include two contests for pupils and students who are currently studying Japanese: a Japanese language eloquence competition and an art performance. The winner of the eloquence contest will have the chance to visit Japan in two weeks.

The first Japanese eloquence contest was held in 1997 with the aim of providing Vietnamese students with opportunities to use their knowledge of the Japanese language while also promoting relations between the two countries. In 2003, the contest blossomed into a Japanese language festival.

Over the past 14 years, the festival has attracted an increasing number of pupils and students eager to show off their skills.
