Swiss Fair Autumn 2019 in Oyamazaki

As one of the Host Towns of Switzerland on the road to the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Tokyo, Oyamazaki Town hosted an event “Oyamazaki Swiss Fair Autumn 2019” to introduce Swiss culture and promote intercultural exchange.

With a touch of Christmas, a hand bell performance by local children and Alphorn traditional music filled the air. Citizens of Oyamazaki had the chance to indulge themselves with melted Raclette cheese and Swiss confectionery as well as experience make-your-own candles and Scherenschnitt (paper-cutting), organized by the members of the international exchange association. Mr. Pulver, Head of the Culture and Public Affairs of the Embassy of Switzerland in Japan, presented Swiss culture and the Embassy's engagement on the road to Tokyo 2020.
