  • Japan Festival kicks off in Sao Paulo

The annual Japan Festival has begun in the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, offering visitors the chance to sample local Japanese dishes and experience the country's atmosphere. Brazil is home to the world's largest community of Japanese descendants. The festival is said to be one of the world’s largest of its kind outside Japan.

The event showcases Japanese culture, including traditional drum performances. At the food corner, about 40 prefectural associations have set up booths where people can enjoy local dishes and sweets from around Japan. The festival runs through Sunday. The organizer expects about 200,000 visitors.
