【 🌸 Announcement: TIFE at Goshikijin Matsuri 🌸】

We are excited to share that Tokyo International Friends & Events (TIFE) will be joining this year’s Goshikijin Matsuri, hosted by SAKE OF PEACE!

About Goshikijin Matsuri

The Goshikijin Matsuri is more than just a festival—it’s a celebration of Japanese culture and international exchange. Organized by General Incorporated Association SAKE OF PEACE, the festival highlights traditional and modern Japanese culture including sake, shrines and temples, sumo, and anime, while creating bridges with cultures from around the world.

The event also supports the Kids’ School project, which provides children with free opportunities to experience international culture, identity, and education for the next generation. All proceeds from SAKE OF PEACE charity events help fund these valuable programs.
