Japan Impact Festival in Lausanne (2022)

Names such as Aluota or Shinorisu Tanya are music to the ears of those into cosplay. These are just two of the high-profile guests expected to attend Japan Impact Festival in Lausanne.

Organized by fans of Japanese culture, this festival offers food, festivities, and shopping. The weekend’s line-up includes a rock concert and even a taiko drum performance by ReMi Taiko - 礼実太鼓.

There will be a manga drawing workshop, video game sessions, martial arts performances, and a scavenger hunt to collect stamps throughout the festival.

And finally, one of the highlights will be the Kawaii Contest, a talent show for Japanese fashion fans dressed in “cute” outfits.
