Finally
This will apparently be the 30th time the event has been held～. Around 9,600 foreign residents live in Nishinomiya City, so this really is “international exchange close to home”. With exhibits, a café, and a stamp rally, it seems like you can get a little taste of Expo vibes💂. If you’ve ever wanted to talk with people from overseas, why not casually stop by and take a look?
