Currently, it is held twice a year (winter and summer) at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, with approximately 2,000 dealers exhibiting each year. The number of participants exceeds 50,000, making it a major event that attracts great interest from fans not only in Japan but also from overseas.

About Toy's King (Yamato Co., Ltd.)
We operate as a toy and hobby store that specializes in purchasing toys and hobbies with the theme of "making toys more interesting and fun".
The world of hobbies is not only for children. Hobbies, which can be collected by children as well as adults as collectibles, are a culture that is loved and enjoyed by everyone across generations. Many of these items are very expensive or are limited editions that are not available for general sale and have high value. And not only the latest items, but also retro toys that cost only a few hundred or a few thousand yen when they were first released are extremely rare and highly valued items.
Toy's King has many professional buyers who can appraise the value of such "retro toys and the latest hobbies" with a professional eye.
