About Japan Day Japan Day is an event designed by the Japanese community of New York to promote deeper understanding of Japanese culture and, to say "Thank you, New York!" The inaugural Japan Day was held in Central Park, Rumsey Playfield, June 3rd, 2007. Over 14,000 New Yorkers enjoyed the stage show, free Japanese food and activity tents featuring video games, robots, origami, calligraphy traditional toys and games. Japan Day 2008 is held in a green oasis in New York City, Central Park's East Meadow. Once again, the heart of Manhattan will be transformed into a Japanese Summer Festival. We will feature the best of traditional and contemporary Japan with a wide range of family-friendly activities and powerful stage performances throughout the day. |
