The power of Jujutsu Kaisen and Kento Nanami?
Since Kento Nanami, a character from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, expressed his desire to visit a beach in Kuantan before his death, the city of Pahang, Malaysia, has gained international recognition.
Earlier today (December 10), the Japanese Ambassador to Malaysia, Takahashi Katsuhiko, shared two posts featuring beaches in Kuantan.

“Beautiful beach of Kuantan on Sunday morning,” he stated in his first post. In his second post, he shared another picture of a beach in Kuantan with the caption, “Sea at Kuantan No.2… It is really calm and beautiful.” Although it’s not mentioned in the posts, netizens suggest that it is Teluk Cempedak, a.k .a. Palm Beach in Kuantan.

Meanwhile, the Japanese Embassy in Malaysia is also organising a Japanese cultural booth at Kuantan Parade on 15 and 16 December 2023.
This is the embassy’s first cultural booth in the city, featuring various cultural activities such as trying on Yukata and Happi, playing traditional Japanese games, and enjoying toys like Kendama, Wanage, Koma, and Daruma-otoshi.
