Where Japan Brings People Together

Born in New York in 2016,

JAPAN Fes began as a Japanese food festival and has grown across cities

— from Paris to Texas and Florida.

But JAPAN Fes is more than an event.

It’s a place to return to. A place to reconnect.

A global community built around Japanese food and culture.

In a world that feels increasingly digital, what people truly seek is something real.

Real faces. Real conversations. Real connection.

Wherever you are, this isn’t something you just attend.

It’s something we build — together.
