Touring Springtime Japan

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Japanese culture and cuisine at the Touring Springtime Japan showcase.

Discover the distinct character of Japan’s six key regions through engaging activities, cultural insights and regional specialities. Learn about the prefectures that shape each region’s identity, from traditions and crafts to the flavours that define their cuisine. Savour a selection of Japanese snacks as you explore, and experience how food and culture come together in everyday life.

A highlight of the showcase is the age-old tradition of mochi pounding. Watch as a wooden mallet rhythmically pounds steamed rice into soft, sticky mochi. This communal practice, often seen during festive celebrations, reflects the spirit of togetherness at the heart of Japanese culture.

This limited-time experience offers a lively introduction to Japan’s heritage, brought to life through flavour, craft and shared moments.
