The Sri Lanka Festival – 2023 was conducted recently with festive mood at Kamagaya Stadium, Japan under the patronage of Mr. Rodney Perera, Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Japan and Mrs. Shivotha Hiromi, Mayor of Kamagaya. The Japan-Sri Lanka Association organized this event in view of promoting Sri Lanka as a tourist destination and also the Sri Lankan Goods and services among Japanese nationals.

A large number of Japanese and Sri Lankans gathered to witness this event filled with Sri Lankan dancing and music and a greater enthusiasm was observed among Japanese nationals in purchasing Sri Lankan food items and other Sri Lankan products. Especially, it was apparent that there was a huge demand among Japanese for Sri Lankan King Coconut, and this will be a good news to the entrepreneurs engaged in export process of King Coconut in Sri Lanka.

This event was successful for the guidance of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Japan and the contribution of Sri Lankan community including the Sri Lankan Businessmen’s Association and Vehicle Importers’ Association. This event was graced by many Japanese and Sri Lankans including Mr. Saman Priyankara, Chairman of the Japanese-Sri Lankan Association.
