Naka-Kon’s mission has always been to celebrate Japanese culture, and we’re excited to announce a brand new experience to support that cause. Naka-kon is sending one outstanding member of the Naka-Kon community on a 5-day, 4-night trip to Tokyo, Japan! The trip includes tours, special events, and more. Naka-Kon will cover the cost of airfare, hotel, a guide, and the itinerary for one, and when you return, you will share your experiences with the rest of the Naka-Kon community...
