Japan's exotic festival-Prison Cultural Festival customs

In Tokyo, Japan, there is one of Japan's largest prisons, Fuchu Prison, and this prison holds an annual cultural festival on the first weekend of November every year, inviting everyone to experience this unique prison atmosphere! Is there a speechless emotion? If anyone wants to know what it's like to be in prison but doesn't need to actually commit a crime, this is your chance!

You can simulate being arrested by the police and climbing into a police car! Then, start a journey on the "Prison Adventure" tour bus and experience life behind high walls.

Real prison food can be tasted in the cafeteria, which serves boiling barley tea and rice, or you can buy a piece of prison-made bread.

Then anyone, including children, can pose in an evil pose and take a commemorative photo in a small prison photo booth. Who says crime is not cute?

If that's not enough to convince you to come, will Fuchun Prison still sell merchandise?

There are also works on display depicting the gate to Sugamo Prison, where Ikebukuro's prison facility has been replaced by the Sunshine60Building and is now a great place to work and shop.
