The annual Japan Festival of Perth returns this weekend!
The Japan Festival of Perth is a free event which celebrates the long history of friendship between Australian and Japanese people.
This year, the Festival will be held on Saturday 7 March from 12:30pm-8:00pm in Forest Place, Perth.

There will also be heaps of Japanese food, craft and goods stalls for you to visit including Japanese souvenirs, anime and cosplay goods and a chance to try origami and even a shateki darts game!
Yummy Japanese food that will be available at the Festival include: udon, yaki-soba and ramen noodles, takoyaki (octopus balls), kaki-gori (shaved ice with sugar syrup), okonomi-yaki (Japanese pancake) and of course, sushi!
There are significant Japanese nationals working and studying in Western Australia and also some are living on a permanent basis raising their Australian families.
The numbers are growing, reflecting the long history of friendship between the two nations.
The Japan Festival Association in Perth Inc. (“JFAP”) was established in 2013 as a non-profit organisation with an aim to raise the overall Japanese profile in WA.
As part of its activities JFAP reached out to these communities to look for ways to become more closely involved with and to contribute to this beautiful multi-cultural society.
The idea of Japanese “MATSURI” (meaning “festival” in Japanese) was launched as an opportunity to realise this dream under the name of the Japan Festival Event.

The matsuri is a free event with lots of fun for kids and families as well as adults, offering a great opportunity for the Perth community to experience one of the most important cultures of Japan.
