Plan your trip
Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.
Japan maintains visa exemption arrangements with many countries for short-term business visits of up to 90 days. Confirm your nationality's current exemption status on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan website or with a Japanese embassy or consulate before booking.
No ATA carnet information was found in the extension captures. Exhibitors planning to bring demonstration equipment into Japan should confirm temporary import procedures and documentation with TSO International Inc. or a licensed customs broker before shipping.
Official visa pageWeather
Tokyo in July 2027 is hot and humid: average daily high around 28-30 C (82-86 F), overnight low around 22-23 C (73 F), with roughly 11-19 rainy days and 130-155 mm of monthly rainfall. Rain risk is highest in the first half of the month, so plan indoor backup time and pack light breathable clothing plus a compact umbrella.

Destination: NRT
Book flights to NRT (Tokyo) when possible for the shortest transfer to the venue.
Japan requires a short-term business visa for nationals of countries without a visa exemption. Visa-exempt nationals (including the United States, United Kingdom, most EU states, Australia, Canada and South Korea) may enter for business meetings, conferences and trade shows for up to 90 days without a visa. The visa does not permit paid employment in Japan. Requirements vary by nationality, so confirm on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan site or with the Japanese embassy or consulate before booking travel.
Estimated cost: Government visa fee is about USD 30 for a single-entry short-term business visa (often waived for Indian nationals under reciprocal arrangements); commercial service fees vary by country.
Processing: Typically 4-5 working days after a complete application is lodged at the Japanese embassy or consulate; allow extra time in peak season and for additional documentation requests.
An inviting organisation or guarantor in Japan may need to send supporting documents directly to the applicant, not to the embassy. Apply through your nearest Japanese embassy or consulate or their designated visa application centre, and carry a printed invitation letter and event registration confirmation for immigration.

Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: July 2027
Temperature: Average daily high 28-30 C (82-86 F); average overnight low 22-23 C (73 F)
Seasonality: July is one of Tokyo's wettest months, with roughly 11-19 rainy days and 130-155 mm of monthly rainfall. The rainy season typically tapers early in the month, so expect humid conditions with frequent afternoon showers.
Packing: Pack light, breathable business-casual clothing for 28-30 C days and 22-23 C nights. Bring a compact umbrella or light rain shell, moisture-wicking shirts, spare socks, comfortable walking shoes, and a small towel. Carry a power bank and, for laptops, a plug adapter for Japan's Type A/B sockets. Hotel and venue air conditioning is strong, so a light layer helps indoors.

QUESTION 1 OF 6
What is your primary role?
Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.
visit
You are evaluating the Japanese sports and health market, need to compare suppliers or find distribution partners, and can travel for two to three days.
Best for
Sports and fitness equipment buyers, gym and club operators, physiotherapy and rehabilitation professionals, and wellness brand managers who want to source products and meet Japanese distributors in three days.
Min. budget
$1,200.00
Timeline
4-6 weeks for visa, flights and Tokyo Bay hotel booking ahead of the July peak season.
Risks
July is peak summer travel season in Tokyo, so Ariake and Odaiba hotel rates rise sharply and close out early.
Business visa processing needs a complete invitation pack, so late applications risk missing the show.
Japanese summer heat and humidity can slow on-site walking between East Hall and the station.
exhibit
You have a Japan market entry plan, a defined distributor or OEM target list, and budget for stand build plus travel.
Best for
Sports equipment manufacturers, fitness technology suppliers, sportswear and footwear brands, and rehabilitation or sports-medicine companies targeting Japanese distributors, gym chains and government sports programmes.
Min. budget
$8,000.00
Timeline
4-6 months for stand booking, design and build, freight and customs clearance, staff travel and lead-capture set-up.
Risks
Prime East Hall space is allocated early, so late applicants may be placed away from main visitor traffic.
Shipping demonstration equipment into Japan requires customs documentation and may face clearance delays.
July hotel and flight demand around Tokyo Big Sight pushes exhibitor travel costs higher.
skip
The Japanese market is not in your current commercial plan and you cannot resource post-show follow-up.
Best for
Companies with no Japanese or Asian sales channel, no distributor follow-up capacity, and no near-term plan to sell into the sports or health sector.
Timeline
No timeline required at this time.
Risks
Missing the show means missing the largest gathering of Japanese sports and health industry buyers and government sports bodies.
