On Apr. 19, 2026, Smiles Mobile Remittance immersed itself in an emotionally rich atmosphere by being the Main Sponsor of the Vietnam Cultural Festival – Reenactment of the 9th Hung Kings Commemoration Ceremony in Osaka. It was a place where the values ​​of the nation’s roots were recreated in the heart of Japan.

The spiritual space of Vietnam

Commemorating the Hung Kings, an incense offering ceremony took place. Despite living far from their homeland, the Vietnamese community, from the elderly to young children born in Japan, was reminded of their roots. This is a clear manifestation of the spirit of “drinking water, remembering the source,” a core cultural value.

Vietnamese culture in the heart of Osaka

Besides the ceremonies, many activities showcased Vietnamese culture. Food stalls, calligraphy, ao dai (traditional Vietnamese dress) shows and artistic performances offered a warm and intimate experience. In particular, the participation of multiple generations showed that Vietnamese culture is not only preserved but is also continuing to spread strongly within the Vietnamese community in Japan.

Smiles connects the Vietnamese community in Japan

In partnership with the event, Smiles not only contributes through sponsorship but also aims for a long-term mission: connecting communities and honoring Vietnamese cultural values. Smiles hopes to contribute to building a strong spiritual life for Vietnamese people living abroad, a place where each individual feels connected and proud of their nation.

Spreading the values ​​of Vietnamese roots

As the event concluded, what remained was not only pride but also deep emotion. In the context of global integration, traditional values ​​like the Hung Kings Commemoration Ceremony are still steadfastly preserved, becoming a connecting thread between generations of Vietnamese people around the world.

Smiles would like to express its sincere gratitude to the organizing committee and the entire community for creating such a meaningful event. In the future, Smiles hopes to continue to support cultural and community activities, contributing to preserving Vietnamese identity and connecting Vietnamese people everywhere in the world.

The widespread impact of the Festival

The impact of the Vietnamese Cultural Festival has not only been embraced by the community but has also garnered attention from numerous domestic and international media outlets. Many articles have acknowledged the event’s significance in preserving cultural identity, connecting with roots, and fostering a sense of community among Vietnamese people in Japan.
