If you are searching for a Japan stationery fair in 2027, ISOT Tokyo is the major stationery trade show to research. It is part of LIFESTYLE Week Summer and is organized as a B2B exhibition, not a general consumer shopping festival.
Confirmed 2027 dates and venue
RX Japan currently lists:
- Dates: June 9–11, 2027
- Venue: Tokyo Big Sight
- Event type: B2B trade show / business exhibition

Is visitor registration open?
Not yet, as of September 28, 2026.
The official visitor page says Summer 2027 visitor registration is expected to open around March 2027. Because registration conditions can change, do not plan a trip on the assumption that a tourist can simply arrive at the venue without registration or eligibility checks.
Before booking around ISOT, recheck the official visitor page.
What should visitors expect?
ISOT is designed for stationery and office-product business activity: exhibitors, buyers, product discovery, and trade conversations.
A displayed product is not necessarily sold to consumers on the show floor. If your goal is immediate shopping, treat Tokyo retail stores as a separate plan.
The safest approach is:
- Confirm visitor eligibility and registration on the official visitor page.
- Check the venue/access page for the current hall and transport information.
- Bring specific maker or product names if you are attending for research.
- Plan retail shopping separately if you want to buy items.
What about the 2027 stationery award?
ISOT also has a stationery award program, but award information and attendance logistics are separate.
The organizer has not yet published the full 2027 winner/category schedule on the current award page. Use the Japanese Stationery Awards 2027 guide for award-status updates, and this page for visitor planning.
If you are visiting Tokyo mainly to shop
ISOT may not be the best fit for a casual consumer-only itinerary. Our Tokyo stationery shopping guide is designed for travelers who want stores where they can browse and buy.
