Kasugai Environment Festival & Cactus Festival

About this event

In Kasugai City, the "Kasugai Environment Festival" is held with the goal of allowing people across a broad range of generations to "learn, touch, interact with, and experience" the environment. This year, in addition to an environmental keynote lecture by a well-known television weather forecaster, there will be hands-on experiential booths for learning through play, as well as panel displays. Furthermore, the "Cactus Festival," where visitors can see, learn about, and eat cacti throughout the day, will be held concurrently. In the keynote lecture, weather forecaster Naoki Terao will give an enjoyable talk titled "Looking Up at the Sky to Think About the Future: Learning About Earth's Future and Behind-the-Scenes Weather Forecasting with a Meteorologist," explaining global warming and the work of a weather forecaster. The hands-on section features diverse programs such as a Zero Carbon quiz, disaster prevention VR/AR experiences, a science experiment show, wood coloring and walnut netsuke crafting, a garbage sorting game, and model airplane building using fuel made from recycled cooking oil. There will also be a "Hands-On Toy Hospital" where participants can experience toy repair alongside a "toy doctor." At the venue, an exhibition of winning works from an environmental painting contest will be displayed, and collection boxes for unwanted toys, small household appliances, and waste cooking oil will be set up.
