Smiles Philippines Joins Filipino Community Hanami Event in Tokyo

On March 30, 2025, Smiles Mobile Remittance Philippines joined a hanami-style Filipino community gathering at Ukima Park, Itabashi, Tokyo. Organized by MWO-OWWA Tokyo in celebration of Women’s Month, the event brought together Filipinos from the Kanto Region for a day of camaraderie and cultural pride.

Attended by the Philippine Ambassador, MWO-OWWA Tokyo officers, and leaders from various Filipino communities, the gathering embraced the spirit of hanami (cherry blossom viewing), blending Filipino traditions with Japan’s springtime culture.

With a picnic-style setup, attendees enjoyed traditional games, lively dancing, and shared Filipino dishes under the cherry blossoms—a beautiful reminder of both home and new beginnings in Japan.

As a proud supporter of the Filipino community in Japan, Smiles Mobile Remittance Philippines was honored to take part in this event, celebrating the strength and unity of Filipinos abroad while embracing the beauty of spring.
