That was the Japan Day Düsseldorf/NRW 2022

The unique cultural festival in Düsseldorf

After a two-year break due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 19th Japan Day Düsseldorf/NRW finally turned Düsseldorf's Rhine embankment promenade back into the venue for a celebration of friendship between Japan and Germany. 600,000 visitors enjoyed a peaceful festival and celebrated Japanese culture with the Japanese community. More than 50 information and activity tents were dedicated to both traditional and modern aspects of Japanese culture - from aikido to cosplay.

Musical program items such as the concert by the drum group "Miyabi & Lion" and the rousing performance by the J-pop sensation "Charan-Po-Rantan with Kankan Balkan" thrilled the audience on the main stage and turned the Burgplatz into a party zone. This year, the Japanese fireworks display at the end was held under the unifying motto "Together for peace and friendship".
