Background of "islanders' festa

While there are many events to promote cultural and artistic exchanges, there has never been a festa in Japan that focuses on the culture and nature of the world's maritime peoples (according to our research). The Islanders Association aims to raise awareness of coexistence with a global perspective by bringing together maritime peoples from Japan and around the world to interact with each other at Shokuyabo Farm in Ashina, Yokosuka City.

A total of 21 Maori team members will perform KAPA HAKA, a traditional New Zealand dance, for the first time in Japan, and other artists and healers from Japan, including Okinawan eisa and wadaiko drummers, will gather. Craftspeople who are particular about the materials they use and the awareness of their makers will open stalls and give performances, allowing visitors to experience various aspects of Islander culture throughout the three days of the festival.

*Experience an outdoor venue in harmony with nature*.

At Shokuyabo Farm, located in the rich nature of Mt. During the event, Islanders special menu will be served at Shokuyabo Restaurant.
