Japanese cultural hallmark in Hoi An

From the initial personal attachment to Vietnam, the relationship between Japanese traders and the local Vietnamese has blossomed into family ties, and on a larger scale, a close relationship between the two nations. To this day, that relationship still flourishes.

Many exciting activities are taking place on the banks of the Hoai River within Hoi An’s 13^th Vietnam – Japan Cultural Festival. The event has become a unique tourism attraction, drawing visitors to the Old Town for years. It’s also a way to preserve and promote the values of the ancient urban heritage that bears the hallmark of Japanese culture.
