JAPAN EXPO 2024 (14 Dec)

On Saturday, 14 December 2024, “JAPAN EXPO 2024” was held at Sydney Town Hall, where CLAIR Sydney participated with a booth.
 
This event, now in its fourth year, serves as a platform to showcase the diverse attractions of Japan, including tourism, local products, arts and culture. This year, approximately 3,000 visitors attended, enjoying 60 booths featured offerings such as Japanese sake, umeshu plum wine, sweets, bento boxes, and promotional materials for travel to Japan. The venue was also enlivened by 20 performances, including karate, dance, piano recitals, and live shows by female idol groups, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere. 
 
At the CLAIR Sydney booth, we promoted information about various regions of Japan. Many visitors stopped by, ranging from those actively planning trips to Japan to those considering visiting in the future. We also had the opportunity to engage with many repeated visitors to Japan, reaffirming the high level of interest in and enthusiasm for Japan as a travel destination.
 
CLAIR Sydney will continue to actively participate in events like this, aiming to further increase interest in Japan and introduce the unique charm of its local regions to a broader audience.

  • From the 3rd to the 13th of December, eight selected swimmers from the Fukuoka Swimming Association visited NSW, where they participated in joint training sessions with a local school and competed in the 2024-25 Speedo NSW Senior State Age Championships.

    During the joint training, the athletes deepened their connections, and in the competition, the Fukuoka swimmers achieved remarkable success, earning numerous medals.
     
    The visit is based on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in December 2023 between the Fukuoka Prefecture, the Fukuoka Swimming Association, and Swimming NSW. CLAIR Sydney received a request from Fukuoka Prefecture to assist them with their activities and accompanied them during some parts of their visit.
     
    We will continue to support and deepen exchanges in the field of sports between Fukuoka Prefecture and NSW.
    To all the athletes, coaches, and accompanying staffs, Otsukaresamadeshita!

  • 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.
