On the weekend of April 1st and 2nd, 2006, Falun Gong practitioners in Japan once again participated in the annual Cherry Blossom Festival held in Toyota, Aichi County. They brought the beauty of Falun Dafa to more Japanese people.

During the two days, practitioners rented a booth, where they hung a banner reading, "Falun Dafa is Great" in both Chinese and English. They made Chinese dumplings for those who came to view the cherry blossoms. They also invited Chinese overseas students to come sample the dumplings and at the same time, told them about the facts of Falun Gong and the current tide of quitting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organisations. On the lawn with cherry blossoms, practitioners displayed Falun Dafa books, truth clarification materials and displayed informational boards depicting the wide spreading of Falun Dafa. Some practitioners practised the exercises, and some handed out materials to passersby to expose the CCP's brutal persecution of Falun Gong and the CCP's Sujiatun Concentration Camp, where organs are harvested from living Falun Gong practitioners.
The practitioners also performed a Chinese dance and demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises on the stage, attracting many visitors. Some audience members imitated the practitioners in doing the exercises.
Through this two-day activity, many people have learned about Falun Dafa. Two Japanese people bought the exercise teaching videotape and expressed their wish to learn Falun Gong.
