about

Japan Festival Wellington is a biennial event celebrating Japanese culture in the Capital of Aotearoa - organised by the Wellington Japan Festival Trust with support from Embassy of Japan and Wellington City Council.

Whether it’s stunning martial arts displays, funky cosplay culture or the graceful tea ceremony, Japan Festival Wellington will have something for everyone.

The Trust was set up by WCC to ensure the future growth of the Festival. We are here to celebrate Japanese culture and our links with sister city Sakai and Japan.

A big thank you from the Wellington Japan Festival Trust to all the many people –stallholders, performers, volunteers and our wonderful family of sponsors -- who helped make our 2022 event such a success. Some 20,000 people poured into the TSB Arena and the Japanese Food Hall in Shed Six on Saturday June 18 to enjoy all the fun on offer, from martial arts displays and funky cosplay culture to the graceful tea ceremony. 

Planning is now underway for the eighth Japan Festival Wellington in 2024, so watch this space!
