Tourism EXPO Japan is the Japanese travel trade's annual fair, with national and prefectural tourist boards, airlines and operators taking appointments on the business days and opening to the public afterwards.
No attendance figure is collected in this pass.
The host city rotates, which is the planning fact and which the partner calendar does not record: recent editions have been in Osaka, Okinawa, Tokyo and Aichi, and the city for a given year is announced well in advance.
Its interest for a reference work is the same as BIT's in Milan or FITUR's in Madrid: this is where Japan's inbound tourism positioning for the coming year becomes visible, including which prefectures are promoting which festivals.
PlanningAn autumn window whose host city rotates — Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Aichi in different years.
