Consulate Activities

2016/4/10

Kawaii Kon

   From April 8-10, the Consulate General of Japan participated in Hawaii’s largest anime/manga convention, Kawaii Kon, at the Hawaii Convention Center. The consulate booth displayed information on the JET Program and Japanese government scholarships while promoting tourism to Japan with informational leaflets. Convention attendees were free to pick up copies of the “Japan Anime Map,” a map produced by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) detailing locations in Japan that are featured in popular anime and manga, and pamphlets on the website “Japanese in Anime & Manga,” an educational page sponsored by the Japan Foundation to teach the Japanese language through anime and manga.
