 With overseas holidays largely off the cards for the last couple of years, many of us are itching for new and exotic experiences, and, coming into summer, who could say no to a taste of the Caribbean?

This October, JAPOLAC is offering a Caribbean sojourn in the heart of Tokyo with Caribbean music, dance and food at one of Japan’s only authentic Caribbean cultural events, Rhythms of the Caribbean.

The entry fee includes authentic homestyle Jamaican cuisine, exhibitions and pop -up stalls as well as live reggae, Caribbean and classic American music performed by local musicians and DJs.

Add some new moves to your repertoire with free dance lessons from local choreographer Sean Kulsum and test them out on the dance floor ahead of your next overseas holiday.

Tickets are available in advance or on the door and you can register your interest via this link.
