If visiting Japan has always been on your bucket list but you haven’t had the opportunity to do so yet, the next best thing might be attending Japanese Culture Con – where you can experience all things Japan in the heart of Downtown Dubai.
Season 2 of the popular event is coming to Burj Park from 12th to 14th December, giving visitors the chance to experience Japanese food, culture, and entertainment. From ramen to takoyaki, kimonos to cosplay, which includes a prize pool of AED 10,000, this event has it all! Did we mention that there is even a mochi-pounding experience where you can watch glutinous rice turn into the chewy, delicious Japanese rice cake?
For entertainment, there are singers, taiko drummers, performers, anime voice artists, fashion shows, and the line-up includes names such as Ryosuke Kimura, Maica N, Ai Higuchi and more.
Japanese Culture Con runs from 3pm to 11pm. Tickets are priced at AED 70 per person, with discounted rates for students. Book your tickets here.
Located at Burj Park. For more information, visit their Instagram page.
