Date: March 10–12, 2026
Location: INTEX Osaka, Japan
Official Website: https://www.medical-jpn.jp/osaka/ja-jp.html
Planning to exhibit in Japan?
Import rules, regulatory checks, and on-site coordination can quickly become complicated for overseas exhibitors.
Case for Your Reference
Japan is one of the world’s fastest-aging societies.
Over 36 million people — nearly 30% of the population — are now 65+, driving strong demand for senior care and healthcare products.
Nursing care furniture, terminal care supplies, and infection control goods from overseas are increasingly popular, with many buyers purchasing through Amazon or Rakuten.
However, entering Japan is not always simple.
Some products may fall under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act (PMD Act). Without prior approval, items cannot be imported or even displayed at exhibitions. Even hand-carried samples may be stopped at customs.
Many companies discover these issues too late and miss valuable exhibition opportunities.

Architecture & Construction Materials Exhibition
Date: March 3–6, 2026
Location: Tokyo Big Sight, Tokyo
Official Website: https://messe.nikkei.co.jp/ac/
Planning to exhibit in Japan?
Shipping heavy materials, arranging deliveries, and coordinating on-site booth setup can quickly become complicated for overseas exhibitors.
Case for Your Reference
Japan continues to import a wide range of construction and building materials, including tiles, flooring, wood products, interior components, and prefabricated materials.
Many overseas suppliers see strong opportunities in the Japanese market and can even start selling through platforms like Amazon Japan without establishing a local entity.
However, exhibiting large or heavy products in Japan is not always simple.
Construction materials often require:
~early shipment scheduling
~carrier coordination
~temporary storage
~timed delivery to the venue
~on-site handling and booth setup support
If preparation is delayed, materials may arrive late — or miss the exhibition entirely.
Many exhibitors underestimate these operational challenges and lose valuable business opportunities.

For food and beverage products, display alone is not enough.
If buyers cannot taste or sample your products, it is almost impossible to win new business.
STARS supports overseas exhibitors with import and on-site coordination in Japan.
Case for Your Reference
Okinawa is a growing gateway market for tourism, hospitality, and food service industries. Many overseas brands see strong opportunities to introduce specialty foods, beverages, and unique ingredients to Japan.
However, bringing food products into Japan for exhibitions is not always simple.
Sampling often requires:
〜food import procedures and inspections
〜proper labeling and documentation
〜temperature control and storage
〜on-site preparation for tasting or serving
Without proper preparation, products may be delayed, rejected, or simply unavailable for sampling on the day of the show.
Some companies wait for a local distributor to handle everything.
Others prefer to promote their products directly to buyers.
In either case, smooth preparation is essential.

• Documentation guidance and compliance support
• Delivery and local handling arrangements
• On-site tasting and booth operation support
