For companies exhibiting in Japan from overseas: we handle the booth from design through organiser paperwork, delivery, installation and dismantling. We work in Korean, English and Japanese.
Design through build, one contract Drawings, fixtures, delivery, installation and dismantling — all through a single point of contact.
Organiser paperwork handled Special decoration applications, electrical requests and loading permits, filed on time.
Korean and English You never need to work in Japanese. We deal with the venue and the organiser.
Stopping people in the aisle
The Gift Show drew over 1,500 exhibitors and more than a hundred thousand visitors across three days at its last edition. Whether someone walking past stops at your booth is decided in the first two or three seconds. Even a small booth changes completely depending on how the products are arranged, where the light falls, and what it looks like from the aisle. We start by asking what you are leading with and how many items you are showing, then work out fixture heights and flow from there.
Exhibiting in a national or group pavilion?
Pavilion organisers often appoint the contractor for the whole stand. Even then, additional fixtures, meeting areas and support during the show can be arranged separately. If you are exhibiting independently, we can take on the whole job, design through build.
Short lead times are workable
Booth orders from overseas often slip — head office approval, product shipping, contract paperwork for a government support programme. Japanese contractors frequently turn the job down at that point, saying the schedule no longer works. We do the design in-house and deal with our build partner directly, so a short schedule is still workable. On support-programme projects where payment only clears days before move-in, we have completed the design, the organiser filings and the build on schedule. Tell us your dates and booth size and we will tell you the same day whether it can be done.
From enquiry to dismantling
1. Enquiry Send us your dates, booth size and budget. We reply the same day.
2. Brief and estimate We go through your lead products, item count and the fixtures you need, then give you a ballpark figure.
3. Design proposal You get a floor plan and CG renderings. We revise until you are happy with it.
4. Contract and organiser filings We fix the build spec, then prepare and submit the special decoration application and everything else required.
5. Fabrication, delivery, installation The booth is finished the day before the show opens. Our staff are on site throughout the build.
6. During the show, then dismantling Anything that goes wrong is dealt with on the spot. We dismantle once the show closes
What it costs
A single booth unit (9 m²) with system construction runs around ¥900,000. The figure moves with the amount of custom carpentry, the number of fixtures, and whether you need AV equipment or bespoke units. Tell us your booth size and your budget and we will propose what fits inside it. We don't put forward designs that exceed the budget you gave us.
Tell us your dates and booth size
For a show in February 2027, November and December are the right time to start. Get in touch as soon as your participation is confirmed and we will build the schedule with you.
Frequently asked questions
Q. We don't work in Japanese. Is that a problem?
No. We work in Korean, English and Japanese, and we handle all contact with the organiser and the venue. You give us instructions in Korean or English.
Q. Can you handle the organiser's paperwork?
Yes. Special decoration applications, electrical requests, loading permits and anything else the organiser or the venue's appointed contractor requires — we prepare and file them by the deadline. We only come back to you for documents that need your company seal or signature.
Q. The show is less than a month away. Can you still do it?
Often, yes, depending on booth size. Send us the size and the fixtures you need and we will tell you the same day.
Q. Can the fixtures be used again after the show?
We can design them for reuse. If you plan to exhibit again with the same units, we can talk about storage as well.
Q. Do you invoice in yen?
Yes, we work in Japanese yen. If you are using a government support programme, tell us about the payment timing and we will work around it.
