Last year's EVO Japan 2023 was held at Tokyo Big Sight, but this year's event will be held at Ariake GYM-EX! This year's venue is Ariake GYM-EX, a new exhibition hall that was renovated after being used for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Starting with EVO Japan 2024, paid tickets are required for both entry and player entry. The event was a great success and tickets were sold out earlier than planned, but thanks to this, the venue was relatively spacious and densely populated. There were no signs of congestion or confusion when I visited the booths. We are very grateful to the management for their efforts.

In addition to T-shirts and T-shirts, original goods in collaboration with "HIGHSCORE GIRL," a popular manga and anime about fighting games, were also on sale. The items were sold out by midday, so if there is an item you are looking for, we strongly recommend that you start selling it in the morning!

Various kitchen cars opened their stalls.

You can't fight a war on an empty stomach! Various kitchen cars were set up in the outdoor area of Ariake GYM-EX, including steak bowls, fries, kebabs, crepes, etc., and they smelled good.
