The Nagoya International Club’s next event will be the Okehazama Battlefield Festival on Sunday June 6th. The festival offers a samurai parade, and a battle re-enactment, but wait, there’s more! For being avid followers of us here at Japan Info Swap and the X-Pat Files, we will throw in an additional flea market, and stage performances at no extra charge! The club will be meeting at 11AM at the gold clock in front of the Takashimaya Department Store at JR Nagoya Station, on the white tiles in front of the escalators if we can fit.
