Over 40 stands and a giant flea market

The Petit Konbini is bringing out the big guns: more than 40 creators, illustrators, and artisans are coming from France and Belgium, plus the famous Koji Japon with its flea market full of Japanese treasures. Get your credit card ready; it feels like you'll be leaving with a suitcase bursting at the seams!

Martial arts, calligraphy, and tattooing

On Saturday, it's the Paris sumo club (real sumos in Lille!), and all weekend you can also try jodo with the Lille club. Plus, enjoy some calligraphy, origami, dango cooking workshops, or even a shiatsu massage… and why not leave with a traditional Japanese tattoo?

Street Food and Matcha Bar

You can't talk about Japan without mentioning food: the stands of Peko Peko, Crowntea, Chef Misato, and Oh Mochi! will delight foodies with bentos, mochis, and other sweet treats. And for a tea break, head over to the matcha bar of Maison Satori.

Concerts and city pop vibes

Get ready for an 80’s vibe with the band AFTER 5, the only Japanese city-pop group in Europe, who will turn Garage into Tokyo by night. And in between performances, stroll through the illustration village of Paiheme or discover the secrets of sake with Osaké.
