Discover the land of the rising sun in the centre of Düsseldorf
Welcome to Japan Day, a radiant highlight in Düsseldorf’s event calendar that celebrates the unique connection between the Rhine metropolis and Japanese culture. Every year, the city is transformed into a stage for a festival that combines tradition and modernity, Far Eastern harmony and Rhineland joie de vivre.
A festival of colours and sounds
Immerse yourself in a world full of colourful splendour and cultural diversity. Japan Day brings you closer to the fascinating facets of Japan – from tranquil tea ceremonies that offer an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, to dynamic martial arts demonstrations that showcase the artistry and discipline of Japanese culture. Musical performances, ranging from traditional sounds to modern J-pop rhythms, provide an unrivalled acoustic backdrop.
Culinary journey through Japan
Japan Day is also an invitation to all gourmets to explore the diversity of Japanese cuisine. From sushi to ramen, from sweet mochi to savoury takoyaki, the culinary stalls offer a range of flavours that seem to come straight from the streets of Tokyo.
A sky full of lights
As evening falls, Japan Day reaches its climax with a magnificent fireworks display. This spectacle, which bathes the sky above the Rhine in a sea of light and colour, symbolises the beauty and elegance of Japanese culture. It is a moment of togetherness that amazes visitors from all over the world and creates unforgettable memories.
