【First in Japan!】World Hat Walk in Osaka 2025

To all hat lovers:

The "World Hat Walk," an international event where hat fans from around the world walk together, spreading the charm of hats globally, will be held for the first time in Japan on April 27 (Sunday)!

And Beret is flamingo will be bringing you this wonderful event as the organizer of Osaka.

Over 45 cities worldwide

The World Hat Walk will be held on the same day in various cities worldwide, including London, Barcelona, Seoul, and Taiwan.

Hat lovers from all over the world walk through their own cities wearing their favorite hats, a global celebration that connects communities across continents through the shared love of headwear.

This year, three cities are scheduled to be held across Japan for the first time: Osaka in Kansai, Tokyo in Kanto, and Miyagi (Sendai) in Tohoku.

Why Osaka? A city steeped in the history and culture of hat making

One of the important objectives of World Hat Walk in Osaka is to rediscover the charm and history of Japanese-made hats and to make them known to more people.

Osaka is known as one of Japan's leading hat-making cities. This is due to its history of flourishing textile industries and a manufacturing tradition that traces the journey from thread to fabric, and from fabric to hats — one that remains deeply rooted in this city to this day.

A spring stroll connected by hats
