Japanese Children's Day

Join us at City of Hobart's Youth Arts and Recreation Centre (YARC) for a day of activities based on the themes of children's day, as well as learning about Japanese culture and customs.

Activities will include:

  • Climb the Kumundar Gujo – jungle gym constructed of traditional Japanese woodworking techniques.
  • Find a Japanese story book among the Australian Wooden Boat Festival's travelling book barge.
  • Meet the adorable bonito fish Yai Chan, Yaizu City's mascot.
  • Make some cool origami – we'll show you how!
  • Add your dot to a community made koinobori (carp streamer).
  • Try some yummy Japanese foods
  • See the interesting Japanese arts, crafts, cultural displays.
  • And more.

This event is supported by City of Hobart's YARC and our friends at the Australian Wooden Boat Festival.
