On May 29, the sun shone down on more than 700,000 visitors who came to experience a taste of Japan at Burgplatz and along the Rhine promenade in Düsseldorf’s Old Town. The Japan Festival offered something for everyone. The more traditional aspects included calligraphy, kimono try-ons, and tea ceremony demonstrations. Fans of martial arts also got their money’s worth. Various martial arts were demonstrated on the sports stage.

As in previous years, Kyudo was also part of the program: on the lawn at the Reuterkaserne, the Neandertal Kyudo Club had set up its shooting range to introduce the public to their art. In addition, there was a half-hour demonstration on the sports stage.
