Nihon Matsuri 2024 @ Stadium Bukit Jalil, Selangor

Aww...My good friends and I went to Nihon Matsuri, a Japanese festival organized by Trumpet International Sdn Bhd and held at Car Park B Stadium Bukit Jalil from July 25th to July 28th, and August 1st to August 4th, 2024. To be honest, this is my first time exploring this event. We were delighted to learn about Japanese heritage and traditional culture. That is quite good! Anyway, I just want to share a short glimpse of my experience at this festival. Thank you to Selina Wing, who suggested we visit the Nihon Matsuri 2024, a Japanese culture festival in Bukit Jalil after we experienced the Bon Odori 2024 in Shah Alam.

First, we arrived in the late evening. What's funny is that we kept walking around the Bukit Jalil stadium looking for the Nihon Masturi entrance, but we couldn't find it. A few minutes later, we had to ask someone about this event. We finally found it. Before we could enter this festival, we needed to purchase a ticket. Then, we were impressed to see a beautiful bamboo arch walkway welcoming us to explore the surroundings. Even a big cute Maneki-Neko drew our attention. Aside from that, there is a lot of Maneki-Neko on the shelves. Without a doubt, we will not miss the opportunity to capture photos around us. Anyway, we enjoyed exploring this event, and obviously, we won't miss out on having a bite snack. 

In addition, we are immersed in the Japan Culture site, which has a variety of booths selling Japanese food, games, merchandise, and more. Not only that, but many people wear Yukatas and immerse themselves in their cosplayer styles based on anime and characters that are quite popular in Japan. The booth caught our attention because we had the chance to witness the precious process of live-cutting high-quality tuna. First time seeing a large tuna fish! The interesting thing is that we were able to capture a 360 spin cam by @xoxnimbus. It's a great pose for capturing the photo. We had a lot of fun walking from Station 1 to 5, but we only got the stamps from Station 2 or 3. To reveal a Manekineko work. Overall, we really enjoy it. I am looking forward to discovering this type of event next year.
