Tourism Expo Japan

Like the Olympic Games and lots of other mass gatherings, the 2020 edition was canceled due to the worldwide COVID‑19 pandemic.

The first exposition happened in 1999 at the ISC Paris graduate school and welcomed 2,400 visitors, a variety that has grown steadily. In 2002, Japan Expo was hosted in the middle of the latest Industries and Technologies (CNIT) in La Défense, Paris.

In 2005, the event was canceled out of security concerns thanks to the massive number of tourists. The exposition has since moved to the larger Exhibition Centre in Paris-Nord Villepinte.

In 2020, the event was postponed to 2021 thanks to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.
