This year's event is scheduled to take place on May 31 and June 1 at Yoyogi Park, Tokyo.

The Ambassador said that with 17 times held, this special activity has become a brand of cultural exchange, which is expected by many Japanese friends and the Vietnamese community in Japan every year.

As the element of people-to-people cultural exchange is an indispensable pillar of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity in Asia and the world between the two countries, this year's festival will further introduce the unique beauty and rich identity of Vietnamese culture to Japanese friends – from folk art performances such as unique water puppet art, ao dai performance and traditional dishes. All are rich in the flavor of the homeland, spreading the image of gentle, friendly and creative Vietnamese people.

Many young artists, representing a new generation of artists – talented, creative and close to young people, with modern music performances will participate. Their contribution will not only bring the spirit of one Vietnam in the new era but also contribute to creating a strong connection and liveliness between the people of the two countries.

The Vietnam Festival in Japan 2025 will be themed "Closer and Deeper", said the organizers. The estimated number of booth is about 130. Hundred thousands visitors are welcomed to enjoy the exciting two-day festival.

The festival will be an opportunity to arouse cultural empathy, contributing to expanding new cooperation in the fields of infrastructure, science and technology, digital transformation, green transformation, education, and tourism.

Ambassador Pham Quang Hieu called for the companionship, support and dissemination of information from Japanese press agencies – so that Vietnamese cultural values can be closer to the public of host country and that the image of a modern but traditional Vietnam is more deeply engraved in the hearts of international friends.

On the other hand, Parliamentarian Aoyagi Yoichiro, co-head of the Organizing Committee of the Vietnam Festival in Japan, emphasized that this is the largest Vietnamese exchange event in Japan, covering a variety of contents, allowing visitors to fully experience the charm of Vietnam.

Regarding the festival's imporant role, the representative of the host country noted that this is considered to be a comprehensive platform for deepening relations between the two countries in many fields.
