14-17 FEB 2027

We return to Tokyo, delivered in partnership with Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau, for luxury travel agencies looking to expand and elevate their Japan offering.

The fifth edition of Explore Tokyo with Connections will take place from 14-17 February 2027.

This event brings together 30 leading Tokyo luxury suppliers and 30 handpicked international travel agencies, through a programme of pre-scheduled meetings, hosted experiences and regional discovery.

Why Tokyo as a luxury destination?

Tokyo is a city that needs no introduction, yet always surprises.

Where centuries of ritual and craft sit alongside a relentless pursuit of excellence, where the tea ceremony and the ten-course tasting menu are both taken with equal seriousness.

Tokyo's luxury is not loud. It is considered intentional and deeply personal. Private ryokan stays, handcrafted experiences within the city's most respected neighbourhoods, and a standard of care that never announces itself.

Explore Tokyo invites agencies to bring clients to the one city that needs no comparison.
