The Kodomo no Hi Japan Festival in South Australia (5 May)

On Sunday, 5 May, the Kodomo no Hi Japan Festival was held in the City of West Torrens, bordering the City of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia.
 
This Japanese festival, held since 1995, celebrates cultural and social ties between the people of Japan and Australia. CLAIR Sydney has been hosting a booth at this event for four consecutive years.
 
We promoted tourism from various regions across Japan, including Okayama Prefecture, South Australia’s sister state, and Himeji City in Hyogo Prefecture, Adelaide’s sister city.
Many people visited our booth, including those planning their first trip within the year and those who have already been to Japan and are looking for their next travel destination within the country.
 
We conducted a survey regarding experiences of visiting the country, including questions such as “What places in Japan would you recommend visiting?”.
Many visitors kindly shared their answers and enthusiastically explained their travel routes to us using the map of Japan set up at our booth. Others nostalgically showed us memorable photos from their trips.
 
It was a great pleasure to witness the growing enthusiasm for future visits to Japan through these interactions.
CLAIR Sydney will continue to promote all of Japan and attract tourists, building on our efforts in municipal PR at Japanese festivals.

  • 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.
