Now in its fourth year, Brighton Japan is returning for 2012. Brighton Japan is an eight day Japanese festival with events taking place in Brighton's most prestigious venues from Friday 22 June – Sunday 1 July.
Brighton Japan is the brainchild of Brighton’s premier Japanese restaurant, Moshi Moshi and is supported by Asahi.
The festival will host many exciting events throughout the week, including two riotous matsuri (street festivals), quality evening performances at HŌMU, the specially created home for the festival in Bartholomew square, and a film festival at the Duke of York's Picturehouse.
Festival highlights include:
MOSHI MATSURI | 23rd-24th June Free entry
