Background & story

AnimeJapan is the world's largest anime industry event, held in Tokyo since 2014. For 2027 it moves to Osaka for the first time, with public days planned at Intex Osaka in late March.

Good to know

Buy timed-entry tickets the moment they go on sale; Intex Osaka is on the bay, so allow extra time on the Chuo Line from central Osaka.

On-the-ground coverage of Japan's festivals, culture and nightlife.
