Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center: Taito-kan 11:00
¥500 (advance with earlier 11am entry ¥700), free for primary school students and under
Calling all cat lovers! The annual Nyan Fes is back at the Tokyo Metropolitan Industrial Trade Center Taito-Kan's 5th and 6th floor exhibition hall, a market where you can find a large variety of cat-themed goods.
Cat-loving artists and crafters from all over the country are gathering at this event to nyan (‘meow’ in Japanese) all they want, while visitors will be able to get their hands on anything from illustrations and photographs to lifestyle goods, all with a cat motif, of course.
It's an opportunity to interact with other cat-enthusiasts and talk about the latest trends in the nyan-world. Check the website and purchase a ticket online in advance, since the most popular goods tend to sell out in a flash, and on-site ticket sales start later at 1pm.
