JAPAN DORAKU 2025 in NIJ0-JO
We at JAPAN DORAKU take social and environmental issues such as the decline of traditional Japanese industry, the global food crisis and global warming seriously and are working towards a recycling society that creates new values from the perspective of diversity under the theme ‘Let’s create a bright future through the circulation of people and money’. The project aims to create a recycling-oriented society that generates new values from the perspective of diversity. The first event of the project will be held at the World Heritage Site Nijo Castle in Kyoto. Please come and experience the virtuous circle of tradition and culture, and how it is not wasted!
