On Saturday 27 October, the Canberra Nara Candle Festival was held at Canberra Nara Peace Park & Lennox Gardens in Canberra. The event was held to celebrate this year’s 25th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Canberra and Nara, and was attended by officials from Nara City. CLAIR Sydney staff supported the Nara booth promotional activities alongside other staff who attended the event, and promoted Japan’s regional areas at the Embassy’s booth. The event featured many fantastic performances that introduced various elements of Japanese culture, such as a Sumo performance and choir. JETAA ACT also exhibited at the booth, and thanks to the efforts of all, the event was a very exciting exchange between Japan and Australia. We’d like to extend a big thank you to all of the people who took the time to drop by our booth and talk about Japan’s regional tourist destinations. We will continue to cooperate with the Embassy to support Japanese Local Governments’ activities for regional promotion and sister city relationships.
