On 11 May, the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to Japan, in cooperation with Embassies of EU Member States, organised a one-day ‘EU Village’ at KITTE Marunouchi, a commercial complex in front of Tokyo Station, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the EU’s diplomatic presence in Tokyo.
The Village was comprised of national stands that offered information brochures, food and drink tastings and goods ranging from honey and jams to sales of handicrafts and educational toys, as well as a stage for music and dance performances. It also had an outdoor section where five food trucks presented specialties of some Member States and German artists created works of art using adhesive tape that emerged before visitors’ eyes.
