Children's Day on May 5th is associated with the image of colorful Koinobori carp flags made of fabric (in Japanese, Koi means carp, Nobori means flag or banner) over 3 meters long, hung on tall poles in front of balconies or in the yard.
The origin of these carp flags stems from an ancient Chinese legend where carp swam across the turbulent Yellow River to transform into dragons. Therefore, the image of a carp overcoming obstacles to become a dragon has become a symbol of strength and courage in overcoming difficulties and achieving success in life. The custom of hanging carp flags on Children's Day in Japanese families also aims to wish their children good health and success, just like the carp.
Having become an annual and traditional event for the Japanese community in Vietnam, as well as tourists and residents of Hanoi, this year, in late April and early May, Nikko Hanoi Hotel will open its doors to welcome guests to visit and experience the Golden Week and Japanese Children's Day, with many exciting activities for families, held at the hotel from April 27th to May 6th. Don't miss the opportunity to explore and participate in unique activities steeped in Japanese tradition, including: admiring a giant model train and traditional toys, baking and sushi-making classes, coloring classes, origami for children, taking photos in traditional yakata costumes, and many other fun activities...
