Every April and October, various eyewear exhibitions take place across Tokyo, featuring both independently hosted brand showcases and smaller exhibitions organized by different entities. This trend can be traced back to the early 2010s, primarily centered around the SLIT and COME exhibitions, which provided brands with alternative options beyond participating in larger trade shows. As eyewear culture has flourished, these exhibitions have proliferated, attracting retailers and distributors from various regions to Tokyo during this period to appreciate the latest designs from major brands and facilitate direct order transactions.
For this year’s April spring exhibition, several shows are scheduled from April 8 to 10. To help everyone plan their trips in advance, this article has carefully compiled information on several popular eyewear exhibitions, including locations, dates, times, transportation guides, and participating brands.
