Japan Day at Düsseldorf

June 7, 2023

On May 13, 2023 Düsseldorf has once again been transformed into the site of one of Europe's largest Japanese culture festivals and delighted its visitors with a spectacular Japanese firework display on the Rhine.

The Japan Day (or Japan-Tag in German) is an annual German-Japanese festival held in May or June at Düsseldorf to celebrate the vibrant traditions and rich heritage of Japan.

It is the largest festival of its kind in the world. Every Japan Day features the sale of Japanese food and drinks, as well as an extensive stage and sports program. There are several stalls showcasing Japanese culture, such as kimono-fitting and a sake-seminar.

It’s worth noting that North Rhine-Westphalia is the home of the biggest Japanese community in continental Europe. According to German media in recent years the Japan Day attracted up to one million visitors.

The grand finale of the event is the spectacular fireworks display which is provided by Japanese pyrotechnicians who come all the way to Germany. Under the motto "The Japanese Seasons in Düsseldorf's Night Sky", fireworks master Hideki Kubota wowed the audience this year with an impressive 25-minute sequence. We invite you to enjoy this spectacle of light via the following link.
