The Canberra Nara Candle Festival

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.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
