Matsuri Japan Festival 2018

On Saturday 8 Dec, the Matsuri Japan Festival 2018 was held at Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour in Sydney. CLAIR Sydney ran a booth at the event to introduce Japanese regional destinations with our co-exhibitors Taito City, Kansai (Osaka City, Kobe City and Sakai City), Fukuoka Prefecture and Tourism Oita. A member of staff from the Joetsu City in Niigata Prefecture also joined us at our booth to promote the Joetsu regional area enthusiastically on the day. Other governmental organisations such as the Consulate-General of Japan in Sydney, JNTO Sydney, as well as Japanese local tourism organisations (Shizuoka, Kyoto, Nara and Okinawa) also exhibited at the festival.

It was a sizzling hot day and approximately 40,000 visitors attended the event. Many visitors came to our booth at the event and we talked with them about Rugby World Cup 2019 related places, host towns for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the World Masters Games 2021 Kansai, and tourist destinations all across Japan.
