HYPER JAPAN 2012 Christmas

We know you all have been waiting to find out when the next HYPER JAPAN will be.

UK-based blogger Ali Muskett aka Haikugirl tells us all about her impressions of HYPER JAPAN 2012 Spring and experiencing something new.

HYPER JAPAN Spring 2012 saw a veritable smorgasbord of sweet delights hit the stalls as visitors were enticed to try everything from chocolate covered bananas to the more traditional dorayaki (pancakes filled with red bean paste). Minamoto Kitchoan decorated its booth with confectionary that looked like mini pieces of art, whilst Nice Ice Kakigori had a selection of fruity flavoured shaved-ice to cool everyone down in the packed venue. Sugar fuelled morsels from cakes to ice cream filled the food court giving HYPER JAPAN that extra buzz.

Terracotta Distribution is one the most exciting distributors in the UK to champion Asia cinema--you might have caught them at HYPER JAPAN--and the annual Terracotta Festival, starting on Friday 12 April, is a four day celebration of some of the very best films coming out of Japan and Asia today.

In the latest instalment of our series on the Japanese travel experiences of our readers, Josh Barron takes us through his night in a capsule hotel, and gives us some insight into these uniquely Japanese establishments.
