Please note, this event is organised by the CCIFJ (French Chamber of Commerce in Japan).

On January 1st, 2024, the Noto earthquake left about 250 dead, 1297 injured, and more than 12,000 homeless who, three months later, remain in 521 shelters.

Rich in history, culture and scenery, Noto has a story to tell around every corner. From rugged coastlines and oceanside temples, to traditional handicrafts and a world‑leading markets; it’s one of the best places to experience Japan’s diverse and unique culture. Most notably however, Noto is blessed with incredibly talented individuals (chefs, curators, farmers, artists, craftsmen) that help shape its unique and vibrant image.

Tragedy struck as the Noto peninsula was being rediscovered. Led by the French Chamber, the BCCJ is delighted to be supporting this fundraiser, “ALL FOR NOTO” on May 20th. ALL FOR NOTO will celebrate Noto’s gastronomy and craft under the presence of some of its most celebrated chefs, farmers, and craftsmen. It will feature an exhibition of Noto photographs by Eric Martin taken just before the earthquake for Le Figaro Magazine.

All profit will go to charity organisations speeding up the recovery of Noto. With your help, we hope to draw renewed attention on one of Japan’s richest and most exciting parts, and speed up Noto’s recovery.

Please note, in order to limit payment/transfer fees incurred, we are directing all bookings for this event to the CCIFJ. Thank you for your understanding.
