Japan Expo Paris

The unmissable event for fans of Japanese pop culture

Every summer, Japan Expo Paris establishes itself as the unmissable event for fans of Japanese culture, manga, anime and video games. Over four days, from 9 to 12 July 2026, at the Parc des Expositions de Paris Nord Villepinte, the festival brings together a passionate, connected and curious community, eager to immerse themselves in Japanese pop culture.

In the aisles, everything flows naturally: meet-and-greets with mangaka, content creators and artists, signing sessions, talks, showcases… Japan Expo is also an accessible gateway to discovering Japan in a different light, blending current trends with traditional inspirations.

Manga, gaming, cosplay: a 360° immersive experience

At Japan Expo, the experience is tangible, vibrant and, above all, interactive. You move from a cosplay competition to a video game demo, from a concert to a preview screening, without ever losing momentum. The gaming zones let you try out the latest releases, whilst the stages host J-pop concerts, live performances and spectacular shows.

With stands, creative workshops and entertainment, the visit becomes a real playground for exploration. Whether you come for manga, cosplay or the latest geek trends, Japan Expo Paris remains one of the best places to soak up the energy of pop culture and share it both on-site and online.
