Wear Traditional Clothes to Work Day

The City Diversity & Inclusion Division has designated November 12 as "Wear Traditional Clothes to Work Day". This was held for the first time in 2021, and staff members had fun wearing colorful clothes such as Chinese dresses, ao dai (Vietnamese traditional clothes), aloha shirts, and chima chogori (Korean traditional clothes for women).
 Three of the eight foreign staff members wore kimonos. One of them, a "Japanese-inspired" American staff has as many as 30 kimonos at home and can even put them on herself. The Brazilian staff member who wore the uniform of the local baseball team, the Hiroshima Toyo Carp, said, "This is the traditional costume of Hiroshima!"
 Even those who usually wear only monotone suits and calm, older management staff were completely transformed into cheerful characters for the first time!
 The City Diversity & Inclusion Division and the Consultation Desk for Foreign Residents of Hiroshima City and Aki-gun are located on the 3rd floor of the International Conference Center Hiroshima.
 Please feel free to visit the City Diversity & Inclusion Division, where our fun staff members are waiting for you.
Wear Traditional Clothes to Work Day

We make efforts to support non-Japanese residents, in the hope of making this a welcoming city where people of all nationalities, ethnicities, and cultures work to coexist.
