Our Story - Connecting the UK with Japan's Traditions and Trends

Connecting the UK with Japan's Traditions

This website is for anyone in the UK interested in Japanese culture. Huge topics are covered, from Japanese festivals, food, film, and fashion to design, outlining how those aspects are unfolded and celebrated in the UK. From big events such as Hyper Japan and Japan Matsuri to small regional ones such as Japan Day in Manchester, they cover both popular and not-so-well-advertised cultural experiences. We want to make it easy for people to explore what Japan has to offer right here in the UK.

Why We Created It

Over the years, more Japanese events and experiences have been popping up around the UK. But unless you already follow them or happen to know where to look, it can be hard to keep track. We noticed that many people were missing out simply because the information was too scattered or unclear. So, we created this website to bring everything together in one place. It's a practical and friendly guide to help people learn more, get involved, and enjoy Japanese culture without the stress of digging through multiple sites or social feeds.

What You'll Find

This site is all about celebrating Japanese culture as it's experienced in the UK today. You'll find pages that share what's coming up—from lively festivals to special film screenings—along with stories about traditional clothing, street fashion, design, travel spots, and more. Everything's written in a warm, easy-to-follow way, so whether you're just getting curious or already have a deep love for Japanese culture, there's something here for you to enjoy.

Our Goal

Our goal is to help more people in the UK connect with Japanese culture in a meaningful way. We believe that these events and traditions are not only fun and beautiful but also a way to bring communities together. Whether you're planning to visit a local festival, take part in a cultural workshop, or want to learn something new, we're here to guide you. We hope this site becomes a helpful companion on your journey into Japanese life in the UK.
