Yokohama Chinatown celebrates its 40th Chinese New Year
In China, the New Year according to the lunar calendar is called "Shunsetsu" and it is customary to celebrate it with great pomp.
Yokohama Chinatown has been holding the Shunsetsu since 1986 so that people can enjoy the holiday in the same way as they do in China, and this year marks the 40th anniversary.
We have a variety of events for you to enjoy, including the now-familiar "Entertainment Performances" where you can see traditional Chinese cultural dance, and the "Celebration Dance Parade", where people in gorgeous costumes parade through Chinatown.
In addition, we will continue to hold the popular annual "Red Packet Lottery," so we hope you enjoy the 2026 Shunsetsu.
