The city of Valencia has been elected the official site of Japan Week 2012, an International meeting organized by the International Friendship
Foundation, IFF, an organization based in Tokyo (Japan) that works to
demonstrate the characteristic features of the Japanese culture through
its folklore, art, music, crafts, dance, and sports among others. Each
year the IFF chooses a specific city to host Japan Week; in 2010 it was
held in Oporto, Portugal, and this year in 2011 it was held in
Frankfurt, Germany.
Valencia is most keen to contribute to the celebrations and so has
designed a wide range of activities and events aimed at merging together
Japanese and Valencian culture at different city sites such as Plaza
del Patriarca, Palau de la Música, La Petxina Culture and Sports Centre
and the Museum of the City, among others. Over a thousand Japanese
citizens will travel from their country to share this major event with
Valencian people.
From 24-11-2012 to 29-11-2012
