Japan Mobility Show Bizweek 2026: Exploring the Future of Mobility at Makuhari Messe

Article

A new mobility-focused exhibition is coming to Makuhari Messe this October, and unlike many industry trade shows, it's free and open to the general public.

The Basics

Japan Mobility Show Bizweek 2026 runs October 13–16, 2026, at Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, with exhibition hours from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It's held concurrently with CEATEC 2026, Japan's major digital-innovation exhibition, at the same venue.

The "MOVE" Theme

The two co-located shows share a unifying theme called "MOVE," centered on cross-industry co-creation — bringing mobility companies together with businesses from other sectors to explore how transportation technology intersects with broader digital innovation.

Free, But Registration Is Required

Admission is free, and the show is open to general visitors and students, not restricted to industry professionals. However, everyone must complete online pre-registration in advance to receive an admission ticket — one email address is required per registrant, with an exception for children of elementary-school age or younger accompanied by a guardian.

What To Know

Mobility and automotive technology is genuinely new territory for TBM's coverage — this isn't anime, idols, or gaming, but it's still a real window into how Japan's industries are reimagining transportation, and a free, open-to-the-public event at Makuhari Messe (the same venue behind Tokyo Game Show) makes it an accessible one for curious visitors, not an industry-only trade show.

Co-locating a mobility show with a digital-technology show like CEATEC under one shared theme reflects a real, deliberate industry shift in Japan — mobility companies increasingly frame their products as technology/software platforms as much as vehicles, so pairing the two events under one roof is meant to showcase that overlap directly, not just save on venue costs.

What Fans Are Saying

• "Free admission for a mobility show this size is honestly surprising."
• "Pairing it with CEATEC makes a lot of sense — mobility is basically a tech category now."
• "Adding this to my October Tokyo trip planning."
