Vietnam Festival in Kanagawa: A celebration of culture and friendship!

Exchanges and cooperation between Vietnam and Japan are taking new forms, especially in the areas of culture and tourism. In this regard, Director Nguyen Phuong Hoa acknowledged the crucial role of the Kanagawa Provincial Government in the upcoming Vietnam Festival. This reports vietnam.vn. Special emphasis was placed on thanking Governor Kuroiwa Yuji for creating favorable conditions that make it possible to promote Vietnam's culture in Japan.

Vietnam is also pursuing participation in the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, but remains committed to supporting the Vietnam Festival in Kanagawa. As part of the festival, Vietnam plans to send a water puppet theater troupe. This will not only be used for performances, but will also organize workshops and seminars to promote tourism.

Preparations for the Vietnam Festival

The festival will be equipped with stands presenting various cultural and tourist products. These are managed by the festival organizing committee. Vietnam also stands ready to coordinate activities aimed at introducing Kanagawa culture and tourism to Vietnam.

At a recent meeting, Mr. Wakisaka Michihiro thanked the Vietnamese Ministry for its support and recalled the beginnings of the Vietnam Festival, which was first held in 2015. The festival has since received continuous support from the ministry and makes an important contribution to cultural relations between the two countries.

Planned activities and logistics

In 2024, the Kanagawa Festival was already held in Hanoi, including inviting the Kawasaki Frontale Football Club for a sports exchange. In 2025, Kanagawa plans to invite the Vietnamese Ministry to the Vietnam Festival again, making careful logistical preparations. Both sides agreed to strengthen coordination and mobilize resources to make the Vietnam Festival successful. The aim is to properly celebrate the 10th anniversary of the festival.

These initiatives are part of the broader strategy to increase cooperation in the fields of culture, tourism and sports between Vietnam and Kanagawa. Further details about the event are on vietnamplus.vn to find.
