Every year, the Japan Touch attracts thousands of visitors who come together with a shared love for the Japanese universe, from its ancient arts to its pop phenomena. What started as a small gathering of passionate fans has grown into a major event for Japanese culture in France.Eurexpo Lyon shines with bright colors, giant origami, the delicious scents of Asian street food, and a joyful buzz that brings to mind traditional matsuri festivals. Manga fans mingle with master artisans, cosplayers pose in front of the booths, and every aisle tells a different story of Japan.

A rich program blending traditions and modernity
For this 2025 edition, the program promises to be as vast as it is eclectic: craftsmanship, wellness workshops, exhibitions, conferences, concerts, and spaces dedicated to independent creators. It’s the perfect time to find an inspired Christmas gift, discover a lesser-known Japanese art, or simply dive, for a weekend, into a fascinating culture. The atmosphere evolves throughout the day: dynamic in the morning, electric in the afternoon, and downright euphoric in the evening!
And this year, Japan Touch welcomes a lineup of guests that should delight both nostalgics and fans of K-pop or video games. We’ll have Brigitte Lecordier, the iconic voice of Son Goku and so many childhood characters.
