Practical travel advice
Hoi An: a bridge through layers of history
From the Japanese Bridge to a town shaped by encounters across the sea.
A town of shared memories
Hoi An’s architecture brings together local, Chinese, Japanese and European influences. The Japanese Bridge begins the story; old houses and surrounding streets give it a wider setting.
An exchange that continues
The 2024 Hoi An–Japan cultural exchange is one example of these links. Leave room for museums, crafts and conversation; festival and performance schedules need separate checking and are not assumed to run daily.
