Children enjoyed intercultural experiences ranging from Thai vegetable carving to learning Sri Lanka's Sinhala alphabet Saturday in Tokyo.
Children's International Festa 2013, held at Yebisu Garden Place in Shibuya Ward, provided kids with opportunities to learn about different cultures around the world through hands-on experience, said Madoka Soma of Somos & Co., which organized the event.
Twelve embassies, including those of Belgium, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, as well as the delegation of the European Union, offered workshops at booths during the festival, which was supported by The Japan Times and other organizations.
