Japan: Trade Show Opportunities in Western Japan

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   JA2022-0011

The western half of Japan, with its main hub in Osaka, accounts for nearly 40 percent of Japan’s population and one-third of the country’s gross domestic product. Many of Japan’s largest food manufacturers and processors are headquartered in the Kansai region which includes the three major cities of Osaka, Kobe, and Kyoto. As a result, Osaka is host to several major food-related trade shows that may of be interest to U.S. exporters. This report provides details on the three largest shows and how U.S. exporters can participate. With Osaka set to host the World Expo in 2025 and the city’s planned opening of Japan’s largest integrated resort by 2029, international export opportunities in the region are set to grow.
