About Japan Fest
The Japan Festival is located in Hermann Park (near downtown Houston) and provides a wide variety of opportunities to absorb the rich and diverse culture of Japan.

For 16 consecutive years, the Japan Festival has been consistently growing  and proudly supports over 20,000 attendees each year.  In 2009, we held our most successful festival ever!

The Japan-America Society of Houston (www.JASHouston.org) instituted the festival in 1993 in the hopes of developing a stronger relationship between the greater Houston community and Japan.

Each year, the event provides a rich blend of stage entertainment and an impressive array of food and beverages for everyone to enjoy.    The festival is located adjacent to the Japanese Garden and nestled around the large reflection pond.

First time Japan Fest attendees are instantly amazed at the vibrant sounds of taiko drums, rich flavor of Japanese cuisine and beautiful visions of Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangements) and Bonsai.  As an educational sources for everyone, festival-lovers also witness authentic tea ceremonies, martial art demonstrations and children's activities.

The festival is free to the public and tickets for food and beverages are available at booths which are located at the festival.

To accommodate the festival attendees, automatic teller machines are available onsite and our ticket booths happily accept credit cards.

The Japan Festival is grateful for the generosity of our sponsors:
