Enjoy an Evening of Fireworks for Charity

Enjoy an Evening of Fireworks for Charity.

H&R Consultants would like to invite you to participate in a fun event on August 22nd 2010. All the proceeds from this event will be donated to charity. If you have ever been to a fireworks festival in Japan you have seen people wearing what foreigners often mistake for kimono; a yukata. A yukata is much simpler to put on, and much more comfortable to wear than a kimono. Importantly, the fabric is very light, so it is also a very cool garment to wear. Getting dressed up in a beautiful and comfortable yukata and enjoying a warm summer evening watching the fireworks is a very traditional Japanese experience that we would like to share with you. Join us on August 22nd to enjoy these two quintessential experiences; wearing a Yukata and watching fireworks in Yokkaichi!

Before the festival, we will meet at one of Japan Residence’s serviced apartments in Fushimi, and Ritsuko Nakashima, from our office, will be teaching everyone how to put on and wear a yukata correctly. Anyone who attends the class will also receive a handout that outlines what you learned about yukata in English to help you remember! The lessons will begin at 3:00, and will cost 2000 JPY donation to charity. If you do not have a yukata, Ritsuko will help you to buy one. For information about purchasing a yukata, or attending this event, please email us, and Ritsuko will have you in your yukata looking incredible before you know it.

If you are not interested in attending the class, but plan to buy a yukata for the event, or already have your own, we have a second option! Starting at 4:00, we will help you put on your yukata correctly for a 1500 JPY donation to charity. After everyone is dressed up, we will be making out way to Nagoya Station. If you are planning to meet us at Nagoya station, please be at 5:30 at Nagoya Station, at the gold clock in front of Takashimaya Department Store. We will be on the white tiles in front of the escalators waiting for you! Do not feel you have to wear a yukata; come as you are!

Time Schedule for August 22nd 2010
3:00 (15:00) Yukata lessons - 2000 JPY donation
4:00 (16:00) Assistance putting on your Yukata - 1500 JPY donation
5:30 (17:30) Meeting at Nagoya Station
