EVO Japan 2024 has begun!
EVO Japan 2024" has finally started and the best players in the fighting game world will be decided during the three days from April 27 (Sat) to 29 (Mon), 2024.
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.

We also bought some takoyaki to feed our energy!
There is also a spacious terrace resting area on the second floor of Ariake GYM-EX, so it looks like you will have no trouble finding a place to eat.
Vending machines for Japan Energy Corporation's energy drink "Samurai Energy" are located throughout the venue.

There are even alcoholic beverages available at the drink counters. Enjoy the drink of victory!
