Last year at Olympia there were queues around the block for Hyper Japan 2011, and this year it’s expected to be an even bigger success. Hyped as the ‘UK’s Biggest J-Culture’ event, the 3-day spectacular will include something for everyone.

There were queues around the block again at Olympia on Sunday the 24th of July – the final day of 2011’s Hyper Japan event. If you didn’t make it, here’s what you missed out on.

There were also stage performances from comedians, musicians, and kabuki players, stalls selling magazines, books, films and games, and, of course plenty of tastings of saké, yakitori and sushi, which is where Feng Sushi comes in.
