Japan Day at Central Park is a highly anticipated annual event in spring that celebrates Japanese culture with the New York community. Like traditional Japanese festivals, there will be Japanese food tents, activity tents and stage performances displaying a wide range of traditional and contemporary Japanese culture. The activity tents will have origami, yo-yo fishing, kabuki face painting, and calligraphy. There will also be traditional Japanese foods throughout the festival such as okonomiyaki, onigiri, gyoza, and ramen. This year, Japan Day is celebrating its 10th annual event! The Annual Japan Run, a 4 mile run around Central Park, will start off Japan Day with raffle drawings and an award ceremony for the top runners.
