Japan Home and Building Show Tokyo

The Japan Home and Building Show is a prestigious international trade fair for construction and building materials, held annually at the Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo since its inception in 1979. The fair is organized by the Japan Management Association (JMA). Over the years, it has established itself as one of the most significant and innovative platforms for professionals in architecture and construction in Japan.

The abbreviation of the trade fair's name, JHBS, represents a comprehensive exhibition that showcases a diverse range of building materials, components, and services under one roof. The main themes of the fair are divided into seven specialized areas: Japan Home Show, Stone Fair Tokyo, Shop Design Tokyo, Apartments Renovation Tokyo, TOILET Tokyo, Creative Office Design Tokyo, and Renovation Expo.

The fair offers a wide selection of products and services, including building materials, household appliances and systems, interior and exterior materials, LED lighting, flooring materials, decorative materials, as well as toilet equipment and devices. Energy generation and storage technologies, along with interior fittings, design, and renovation solutions are also presented. A particular focus is placed on seismic and earthquake-resistant construction methods, which is of great importance given Japan's geographical location.

The fair has a strong connection to the host country by showcasing innovations and technologies specifically tailored to the needs and challenges of the Japanese market. Highlights of the fair include lectures and seminars by professionals, the presentation of the Future Seed Award to outstanding products, and a student design competition.

Exhibitors come from various sectors, including construction companies, planning offices, real estate developers, and manufacturers of building materials. The fair attracts a diverse audience, including architects, builders, real estate agents, renovation companies, and representatives of apartment complexes.

In conclusion, it should be mentioned that the venue, Tokyo Big Sight, is among the largest exhibition centers in Japan and is easily accessible by public transport. The city, known for its innovative architecture and dynamic real estate market, thus provides the ideal setting for this unique trade fair.
