Nasza Japonia is a Japanese culture festival held every year in several Polish cities. Last year we visited Kraków, Warsaw, Katowice, Częstochowa and Toruń among others, turning each of them into a beautiful piece of Japan. It was inspiring and it was beautiful. Our fairs mean workshops, shows, Japanese food, martial arts, contests, cosplay and a great deal of fun. Every edition drew 3,500 – 6,000 visitors, which made the atmosphere simply outstanding. The festival is organised by FeelGood Events.
Nasza Japonia was created to bring the richness and variety of Japanese culture closer to people in Poland. We show not only the tradition and art of the Land of the Rising Sun, but also how naturally it blends with the present day: from food, through design, to modern technology. It is a space where cultures meet and bridges between Poland and Japan are built.
We want every visitor, whatever their age, to experience Japan in an authentic way and leave with inspiration, knowledge and memories that last.
The real flavours of Japanese cuisine, traditional craft, workshops and meetings with experts and enthusiasts who have been exploring this culture for years.
Dozens of stands: goods imported from Japan, handicraft, food, brands and makers. Real sales, real contacts and visibility among a genuinely engaged audience.
Six zones, dozens of programme items and two days when something is always happening.
Ramen cooked on the spot, sushi shaped in front of you, takoyaki straight off the griddle, gyoza, onigiri and bento. Plus hand-whisked matcha, wagashi and Japanese sweets you will not find in a supermarket. More than a dozen food stands, always with vegetarian options.
A samurai show with live fights, kendo in full bōgu, iaido, the art of drawing the sword in a single move, aikido and karate. The demonstrations are led by long-time practitioners, and after each block you can step onto the mat and try it yourself with an instructor.
The best costumes from anime, games and manga, from the classics to this year’s releases. A contest on the main stage with a jury and prizes, and beside it a full day of meetings with costume makers. Come and show your favourite character: in costume you get in free!
Brush calligraphy, origami, the tea ceremony, live cooking demonstrations and your first sentences in Japanese. The line-up changes with the guests we invite, so we announce each edition’s programme on the website and on our social media.
Taiko drums you can hear across the whole hall, traditional and contemporary dance, concerts and special guests. The stage programme runs across both days, so whenever you arrive, something is just about to start.
Hand-fired ceramics, tea bowls, maneki-neko, furoshiki, pins and washi paper. Dozens of stands with goods imported from Japan and work by Polish makers. At most of them stands the person who made it, happy to tell you the story.
