Hi Japan is Japan's premier food ingredients event. This annual exhibition unites the nation's leading food and beverage suppliers, buyers, R&D experts, and production specialists under one roof.

Hi Japan provides the ultimate platform for showcasing and sourcing F&B ingredients, technologies, and solutions designed for the Japanese market. Attendees have the opportunity to forge valuable connections with local and international industry leaders and innovators, while gaining a competitive edge through cutting-edge insights tailored to the Japanese F&B landscape.

Tokyo Big Sight has access not only from central Tokyo and all other regions of Japan, but from around the world as well. Tokyo Big Sight is close to major airports, only about 60 minutes from Narita International Airport and about 25 minutes from Haneda Airport (Tokyo International Airport) by airport bus.

Haneda Airport is located just 30 minutes away from the city center by train. The airport's growing number of international flights are making Tokyo even much more convenient.

In 2025, we are expecting +38,000 attendees.

Exhibitor Warning

Some Fi exhibitors have been fraudulently targeted by a company called Expo Guide.

EMERGENCY WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES SIGN ANY FORMS FROM THESE COMPANIES.

Expo Guide / FairGuide.com / Construct Data Verlag / International Fairs Directory / Fairs & Business target companies through legitimate exhibition guides. Their current activities cover companies throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia.

Expo Guide claims to offer online listing services. They use a form which resembles an organiser's free catalogue listing service, inviting exhibitors to complete the form for an entry in an on-line directory. Unsuspecting exhibitors who sign and return the form are then contracted into a three-year, non-retractable agreement, which could cost you a significant amount of money, with no foreseeable benefits.

Included in their group is debt collection agency Gravis Inkasso Gmbh and Swiss debt collection agency Premium Recovery AG (a Construct Data subsidiary) which works in partnership with the various guides to intimidate exhibitors into paying.

These publications have no connection with us, or any of our events.

We strongly advise our exhibitors, and the entire exhibition community, to be most vigilant against this and similar organisations.

There are many so-called guides that mail deceptive contracts and then harass those who sign them in error for money.

However the sheer scale and systematic way in which these guides attack exhibitors is outrageous.

Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

No, visitors can attend the event for free.

To ensure safety, anyone under the age of 16 is not permitted to attend Hi Japan.

Nursing mothers with babies are welcome at the event, and a private lactation room will be available on-site for your convenience. However, for safety purposes, we require a responsibility waiver to be completed upon check-in.
