The first-ever K-Culture Festival was held at Toyama Park, made possible by the dedication of 40 Japanese volunteers who passionately engaged participants with activities like a K-Pop dance contest, games, face painting, fan making, and more.

The event was also graced by special cultural performances, including Taekwonmu and a fan dance by the team from Incheon, Korea. With about 3,000 attendees, the festival was filled with laughter, learning, and memorable souvenirs—both tangible and intangible—shared by participants and volunteers alike.
