    Planning

    Best day to visit: Day 2 — Thursday 27 August 2026

    Day two gives the best balance of a fully built-up show floor and a complete seminar programme. Opening morning is dominated by registration queues and Japanese buyer groups, while the closing afternoon sees exhibitors packing down and key staff leaving early. Visiting on 27 August lets you complete a full sourcing sweep across the building-materials, housing-equipment, renovation and smart-home zones, attend the technical stage sessions, and still hold supplier meetings before the 28 August wind-down.

    1

    Confirm passport validity and Japan visa or visa-exemption eligibility — Many nationalities enter Japan visa-free for up to 90 days of short-term business and conference travel; check the MOFA visa page if unsure.

    2

    Book flights into Kansai International Airport (KIX) for the 26-28 August 2026 show — Aim to land a day before opening to clear immigration and reach Osaka Bay.

    3

    Reserve a hotel in the Sakishima / Nanko area near Intex Osaka — Several properties sit within 260 to 540 m of the venue; August is peak season, so book early.

    4

    Complete the free visitor registration at japan-build.jp/osaka — Registering more than three weeks before the show gets your visitor badge emailed to you.

    5

    Download the Intex Osaka hall plan and the JAPAN BUILD Osaka programme — Map the building materials, smart home, and construction DX zones you want to cover.

    6

    Pre-schedule meetings with target exhibitors — Use the exhibitor directory to request appointments before the hall gets busy.

    7

    Shortlist conference sessions and product demos — Sessions cover renovation, building management, AI/IoT, and building decarbonisation.

    8

    Plan local transport from your hotel to Intex Osaka — Osaka Metro Chuo Line to Cosmosquare is a 9-minute walk from the venue; a shuttle runs from JR Osaka Station during the show.

    9

    Pack for hot, humid late-August Osaka — Light business attire, an umbrella, and comfortable walking shoes for the halls.

    10

    Prepare meeting documents, product specs, and plenty of business cards — Japanese business etiquette relies on prompt, formal card exchange.

    11

    Arrange connectivity with a Japan eSIM or pocket WiFi — Prepaid data options are widely available at KIX and in central Osaka.

    12

    Arrive at Intex Osaka on day one, collect your badge, and orient on the floor plan — Venue address: 1-5-102 Nanko-Kita, Suminoe-ku, Osaka 559-0034.
