The Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong has been working with Japanese cultural organizations and the SAR government to host the seventh Japan Autumn Festival from October to November.

Consul general Okada Kenichi said more than 100 online and offline activities will be held this year, covering areas such as movies, performing arts, sports ,arts and crafts, F&B, as well as education, sales and promotion.

"It's common to spot Japanese culture integrating into the Hong Kong society, such as our language, food and products, while Japan has long been the favorite tourist spot for Hongkongers," he said.

"With the relaxing travel restriction in Japan, I personally feel that many Hongkongers are interested in visiting Japan," Okada added.

A highlight of the festival will be the Yayoi Kusama: 1945 to Now special exhibition at M+ from November 12 to May 14 next year.

Another activity is a film festival jointly held with MCL Cinema at Telford Plaza in Kowloon Bay from November 12 to 20, featuring four popular Japanese animations.

Anime-streaming platform Ani-One will hold an online anime song concert on their YouTube channel with performance by Hong Kong singer Mischa Ip Hau-lam.
