Information booth and reception

Volunteers at the information booth and receptions must be well-versed in JapanFest. Your duties include providing information on all aspects of JapanFest, such as the schedule, locations, lost and found, ticketing, missing children, guiding performers, and volunteers. You will also sell T-shirts and other products. You will be placed in the most central locations and will work closely with JapanFest staff.

Survey taker

It is crucial to survey visitors and gain insight into their perceptions of the event. This information will inform future event planning and direction. The more people who participate in the survey, the more accurate the results will be. Survey takers should possess excellent communication skills and be able to engage with people effectively, as well as manage the lines of people willing to take the survey for prizes.
