The South West Festival of Japan is back for its eighth year, transforming Bunbury, Busselton, and Dunsborough into a vibrant celebration of Japanese culture! Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Japan with lantern festivals, cooking classes, anime and manga workshops, artist exhibitions, film screenings, and the highly anticipated annual stamp rally.
Since its launch in 2018, the festival has honored the Sister City bond between Bunbury and Setagaya City. In 2024, Bunbury celebrated 32 years of this special connection, and the tradition continues in 2025 with even more exciting events!
From exquisite Japanese dining and sake tastings to adrenaline-pumping auto showcases, mesmerising cultural performances, and the breathtaking Floating Lantern Festival, the 2024 event was an unforgettable experience. Get ready—2025 is set to be even more spectacular!
