Smiles Sponsors Vietnam Cultural Festival Osaka 2026

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.
