Rincón de la Victoria is preparing for a different kind of summer evening with Yakusoku, an Asian-themed event designed to bring Japanese culture and alternative leisure closer to young people, families and fans of manga, anime and gaming. The event will take place on Saturday 1 August, from 8 pm to midnight, in Plaza Pepe el Boticario, with free admission until capacity is reached.
The initiative is organised by Rincón de la Victoria Town Hall, through the Youth Department, and forms part of a summer programme aimed at offering creative, participatory activities open to all audiences.
Workshops, manga, anime and video games
During the event, attendees will be able to enjoy a wide programme inspired by Japanese culture. Planned activities include themed workshops such as Daruma, Paint Your Cap and Teru Teru, as well as tournaments, magic tattoos, manga, anime, video games, EMA space, Torii, Chinese Dragon, Omikuji and a merchandising area.
The proposal is designed so that visitors can take part, discover new hobbies and enjoy a playful atmosphere around a culture that has an ever-growing following among children, young people and adults.
Oriental-inspired board games
One of the highlights of Yakusoku will be the participation of the association La Casa de Ent, which will offer a display of oriental-themed board games. Visitors will be able to sit down and play titles such as Sushi Go, Hanabi, Ohanami, Shikoku, King of Tokyo, Sushi Bar and Machi Koro, among others.
This area will allow families and groups of friends to discover accessible, dynamic games related to the theme of the event.

Yakusoku aims to turn public spaces in the municipality into meeting points for residents and visitors. The event combines healthy leisure, creativity, popular culture and family entertainment in a time slot designed to enjoy summer outdoors.
Youth councillor Nacho Cuadra has highlighted that the event responds to the new interests of young people and offers a fun, inclusive and completely free experience. Mayor Francisco Salado has also pointed out that the proposal forms part of a varied, high-quality summer programme.
