Penang – Pearl of the Orient

Penang is one of the most well known tourist destinations in Malaysia. Its rich culture with a unique blend of urban and tradition has attracted the world to come and visit. On top of that, you can find so many different cultures in Penang, which is why people from different background who are living or just merely visiting there felt Penang is like their second home.

Penang has become the Japanese go-to city as their second home plan because of the all year round consistently nice weather, the food and the friendly society. No wonder the Penang Japanese Association is still going strong after more than 30 years of establishment.

The Penangites (this is what the people who were born in Penang called themselves) have a year long planning on different Japanese activities, such as this year’s upcoming BonOdori Festival, Culture Japan Festival and 10^th Japanese Film Festival.

Currently, to cater more Japanese culture to Penangites, the number of FEC (Family Entertainment Centre) has increased with more amusement machines brought in from Japan. Here, we are proud to introduce purikura to the Penangites. Afterall, forgetting to introduce Kawaii to them makes their Japanese culture knowledge incomplete you know.

 Don’t worry, we will be putting more purikura in other parts of Penang. Stay tuned!
