Orange County｜Taste of Japan Event Update🎌🍙

The Taste of Japan festival in Anaheim was super lively! There were singing and dancing performances on stage, plus a whole group of kids showing off martial arts moves—so fun! My favorite part was seeing Ultraman battle Masked Rider 🦸♂️⚔️, with a full-on monster-fighting scene—total childhood throwback! ✨ Lots of people were cosplaying, with all kinds of characters—you could even take photos together! If you're into anime and games, you'd have a blast here! 📸🎭 There were plenty of food stalls, but honestly, you can find similar Japanese snacks in Little Tokyo LA—and for lower prices. ⚠️ Important tip: Don’t get tricked by parking! Park at STC Management Anaheim Garden Walk Flash Parking Lot 🅿️. When you enter, don’t say you’re going to Taste of Japan—otherwise they’ll charge you 23! The hourly rate is only 4—big difference! The event is free to enter. Overall, it was okay, but I wouldn’t recommend making a special trip just for it. My rating: ⭐️⭐️ out of 5—worth checking out once, but probably not again.
