Tokyo Outdoor Show 2026

Japan's largest outdoor culture exhibition returns to Makuhari Messe, bringing together hundreds of brands and creators spanning gear, fashion, vehicles, tourism, food, and ecology. Operating under the concept "Kind to nature, enjoying nature", the show celebrates diverse outdoor lifestyles and environmental consciousness.

Vehicle and Brand Collaborations

A signature feature of the show is exclusive partnerships between outdoor brands and automotive manufacturers. Three confirmed collaborations showcase how adventure equipment and vehicles integrate into contemporary travel and camping culture, presenting curated spaces demonstrating practical outdoor setups alongside aspirational lifestyle inspiration.

Tech and Innovation Zone

The exhibition includes numerous technology companies exhibiting outdoor gadgets and innovations — from portable power solutions and action cameras to smart devices and equipment management apps. Interactive demonstrations allow visitors to experience emerging outdoor technology firsthand.

Specialised Lifestyle Areas

Dedicated zones explore distinct outdoor pursuits including hiking, trail running, and overland adventure travel. Each features brands, apparel makers, and creators focused on specific outdoor communities. Exhibitions showcase vehicle customisation options and styling for different adventure types.

Activities and Programming

The show offers multiple engagement opportunities beyond browsing. Stage sessions feature discussions on outdoor culture, vehicle adventure travel, and contemporary fitness trends. Hands-on workshops allow visitors to create custom outdoor items, whilst a community plogging event on 27 June combines running with environmental cleanup.

Special Admission and VIP Ticket

Special admission is required on 26 June (Friday); advance tickets cost ¥1,500 and same-day tickets are ¥2,000.
