(Minghui.org) Practitioners set up a booth in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo during the China Festival on September 6 and 7, 2025, to introduce Falun Dafa and expose the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) persecution. Their large banners stated, “Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance is great” and “CCP ≠ China.”

Falun Dafa practitioners participated in the China Festival in Yoyogi Park in Tokyo and told people about the benefits of Falun Dafa, and about the CCP’s persecution.

Many people stopped by the Falun Dafa booth and expressed their support. A Japanese man told practitioners that the CCP destroyed China’s traditional culture, including etiquette. He said that Falun Dafa was the hope of China’s future. He loudly exclaimed, “Way to go, Falun Dafa!”

After a Chinese woman learned how the CCP persecutes Falun Dafa, she decided to quit the Young Pioneers which she had joined when she was young.

Three young Chinese men initially had some misunderstandings about Falun Dafa because they had been influenced by the CCP’s propaganda. A practitioner patiently explained how the CCP systematically destroyed China’s traditional values and morality, exploited the Chinese people, and blocked them from accessing information. The three young men eventually realized the true nature of the CCP and decided to quit all the communist organizations they had joined.

A mother and her daughter were happy to encounter Falun Dafa practitioners at the festival. They said that they had been looking for Falun Dafa since they got to Japan, and wished to learn how to practice.

A family from China told practitioners that they had immigrated to Japan because they couldn’t endure living under the CCP. They wished to practice Falun Dafa to improve their health, and wanted to find a group exercise site close to their home. A Japanese who overheard their conversation asked the practitioner, “Is it correct that you have to improve your character in order to improve your health?” The practitioner replied, “You are absolutely correct. Practicing Falun Dafa is a process of improving one’s character. Starting from being a good person, we walk a journey of improving our minds and bodies.”

A few Chinese observed Falun Dafa activities from a distance. One of them cursed practitioners and tried to make them leave. The practitioners were undisturbed and continued their activities.
