Highlights and highlights of the 11th Laos Festival 2024

The “Laos Festival” is an international exchange event aimed at deepening the friendly relationship between Japan and Laos that began in 2007.

The number of visitors continues to increase year by year, and now it is one of the largest Laos-related events in Japan.

One of the characteristics of this festival is its focus on environmental protection activities.

High school and university students take the lead and carry out activities to beautify the venue and aim for a clean festival.

During the event, booths where you can enjoy a variety of Laotian food and drinks will be lined up, and you can also buy traditional Laotian miscellaneous goods.

Also, as a valuable opportunity to experience Laotian culture, there will be a ceremony “Bercy” to wish for happiness, an introduction to the activities of international contribution groups related to Laos, and even an introduction to Laos by the Lao Embassy and the Lao Ministry of Tourism.

On the main stage, live music by popular Laotian artists will be held, and you can enjoy impressive performances up close.

Being able to fully immerse yourself in foreign culture through Laotian music and dance is a major attraction of this festival.

Shinjuku/ Shinjuku Relaxation Salon “Sea the Night”

Despite being in a good location, a 2-minute walk from Nishi-Shinjuku Station and a 7-minute walk from Shinjuku Station, it is a salon where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city and relax both mentally and physically.

A private salon where you can relax and unwind, based on the concept of “the best healing for both mind and body in a luxurious space.” Skilled therapists provide a high level of technology.

We offer a menu of body care (massage and relaxation), lixology (foot pressure points), dry head spa, hand care, and deep muscle oil massage to relieve painful stiffness throughout the body.

Shinjuku/ “repos ami” *women only

This salon, which is within walking distance from Shinjuku, offers a menu of full body oil massages, dry head spas without water, and facial massages.

The dry head spa treats the area around the scalp, neck, shoulders, and décolletage while lying on your back, so you can expect eye fatigue and face-reduction effects.

Oil massage uses oil with a high detox effect, and it has the function of excreting toxins accumulated in the body as sweat and urine, making it ideal for detox.

If you are suffering from disturbances in the autonomic nerves, general fatigue, body building that makes it easy to lose weight, tension, or facial distortion, be sure to try it out.
